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.
Caring for corneal grafts and retinal disorders
The corneal graft limit on BonComprehensive, BonClassic, Standard, BonComplete and BonSave will increase from R22 000 to R30 000 in 2018. In addition, the sublimit for specialised drugs for retinal disorders on BonComprehensive, BonClassic and Hospital Plus will increase from R42 000 to R50 000.
Specialised radiology on BonFit and BonEssential
A R15 000 family limit has been introduced for specialised radiology in hospital on BonFit and BonEssential.
Update on exclusions
Bariatric and breast reduction surgery will now be an exclusion on all Bonitas options.
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.
