Getting to know your Added Benefits
Emergency Room (ER) / Casualty GP network
The benefit gives you access to a network of ER GPs who are able to assist you in preventing non-urgent visits to the ER, whilst continuing to support access to high quality of care emergency medicine.
Health @ Home
Health @ Home includes a number of programmes that give members access to a range of quality hospital-level healthcare services in the comfort of their home for a defined list of medical conditions. Members have to meet the clinical entry criteria and care at home has to be clinically appropriate.
Point of Care tests
The benefit allows your treating provider to administer a defined list of tests in the doctors' rooms, without the need to visit a laboratory. The tests are conducted by means of fully integrated and approved devices that link directly to your digital health profile and provide immediate results for quicker diagnosis and treatment.
GP Virtual House call
This service is available to members registered on the Chronic Illness Benefit. A GP will reach out through a virtual consultation if a member is identified as being at high risk of being admitted to hospital and an intervention can reasonably be expected to prevent the admission.
Minor procedures in doctor's rooms
Members are able to receive the required level of service at the appropriate time, by the appropriate healthcare professional, in the appropriate setting or place of care. This benefit is available for a defined list of procedures and subject to the Society's clinical entry criteria.
Advanced Illness (AIB) and Member Support Programme

Member Care programme (MCP)
