WELLTH Fund
What does the WELLTH Fund cover?
The WELLTH Fund covers a comprehensive list of healthcare services to help you take specific action according to your individual healthcare needs. The WELLTH Fund complements and is offered in addition to your screening and prevention benefits. The WELLTH Fund is available once per lifetime for all members and dependants who have completed their Health Checks. You can use your WELLTH Fund for appropriate healthcare services, and you have cover up to your WELLTH Fund limit. Cover is subject to the Scheme’s clinical entry criteria, and treatment guidelines and protocols.
How is the WELLTH Fund unlocked?
All you need to do to unlock the WELLTH Fund is to complete a Health Check. Remember, a Health Check is always covered in full for every member on your health plan, as long as you use a provider in the Discovery Wellness Network. Every member on your health plan above the age of two years needs to complete a Health Check. Adults must complete an in-person Health Check. Children two to eighteen years can complete either a Kids Health Check or an online Kids Health Review to unlock the WELLTH Fund. The Kids Health Review is an online assessment that must be completed by the principal member on the policy for children younger than eighteen.
What is a Health Check
Types of health checks:
- Screening for children includes growth assessment tests such as height, weight, head circumference, and health and milestone tracking.
- Screening for adults includes blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, body mass index (BMI) and HIV screenings (optional).
- Screening for seniors (members who are 65 years old or older) it includes the tests for adults as well as a group of age-appropriate screening tests such as hearing and visual screenings, and a fall-risk assessment.
