Know your numbers with the Personal Health Record
Introducing the Personal Health Record , the simple , easy-to-use app that lets members take control of their health and wellness .
Medical details will be updated each time a member claims , for a comprehensive picture of medical history . This record enables members to manage their own health by being informed , empowered and motivated .
The Personal Health Record can be used to :
• Test health and wellness
• View medical history ( including allergies and wellness screening results )
• Share information with a healthcare provider
• View claims
The app integrates with a range of wellness devices and fitness trackers to help put members on the path to good health . This provides additional support to our current wellness benefits and managed care programmes , which aim to help our members lead happier , healthier lives .
It is available on desktop and mobile . The PHR will be rolled out to members on the Diabetes Management Programme first .

Separate dental benefit added to BonFit
BonFit is designed to attract young , healthy members . To make this option more attractive in the market , a separate benefit for basic dentistry has been added . The benefit will be paid from risk to help savings last longer and allow members to get more value for money .
More value for PMBs on Standard , Standard Select and Primary
In previous years , out-of-hospital tests and specialist consultations for the management of Prescribed Minimum Benefit conditions ( PMBs ) were paid for from day-to-day benefits first on Standard , Standard Select and Primary .
In 2018 , cover for PMBs will be paid for solely from risk – allowing members to get maximum value for money and stretch their day-to-day benefits as far as possible .
