Once all tests that are part of the wellness screening have been
completed, your wellness extender will be activated and you
will be able to access it. Check the amount allocated to your
family on your Wellness Extender.
Visit the GP, biokineticist, dietician or physiotherapist,
have blood tests or x-rays done, or join a programme to
stop smoking, and have the Wellness Extender cover the
consultation or programme.
