IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL NATIONAL MEDICAL SCHEME MEMBERS

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL NATIONAL MEDICAL SCHEME MEMBERS

 

To all current contributing members of the PX National Medical Scheme please note the following information:

 

  1. National Medical Scheme Expiry Date

The current national medical scheme has expired on the 31st May 2015 and we are already in the process of renewing the scheme for the new period of 01st June 2015 – 31st May 2016.

The terms and conditions of the scheme remain the same, including the fortnightly premium payments to the insurer.

 

  1. Grace Period to Lodge Old Medical Claims

The Insurer has given a 30 days grace period for all current members to lodge in any medical claim applications that you may have for the old period. This means that if you have any claims which

you are yet to lodge for dates 01st June 2014 to 31st May 2015 then you have 30 days (until 30th June 2015) to lodge them in because after the 30th of June 2015, any claims lodged

for the old period will be rejected.

 

  1. New Claims

Any new claims submitted for the new policy period (dates from 01st June 2015 onwards) will be held back by the Insurer and will be processed as soon as the policy is renewed and

premium payments are paid.

 

  1. PAG forms

This is a reminder to all current members who have not completed the PAG application form that we need you to contact us at HR as soon as possible to complete the PAG form so

that you can utilise the PAG membership benefits such as the direct billing with the registered clinics.  We also need you to complete the form because if anything should happen to you,

your death benefit of K 30 000.00 will not be paid because you do not have a completed application form with your beneficiary listings! So please come and complete the forms

so that we can register your details and your dependants accordingly with the Insurer.

 

  1. Meeting/Presentation with Insurance Partners, Pacific Assurance Group and PX staff

We have organised a meeting/presentation with our brokers (Insurance Partners) and the Insurer (Pacific Assurance Group) for next week

Tuesday 16th June 2015 at the Technical Training Centre Classroom A1 from 12 Noon to 1pm.

So members, please do come if you are free and attend the meeting.

Interested staff who would like to find out more information about the scheme are also most welcome to attend.

 

  1. Outports staff

To our colleagues in our outports, we will advise you of any outcome of the meeting/ presentation but we would like to request if Port Managers or

Secretaries can assist us by printing this notice and placing it on your notice boards or to circulate with the staff there. Thank you.
