QUEST Vitality Medical Scheme has introduced the Quest Vitality Senior medical aid plan, a specialised healthcare package to cater for the needs of senior citizens, pensioners and other vulnerable groups.
The firm, a subsidiary of the Quest Financial Services Group, said the healthcare solution was designed to provide improved health outcomes for all, including low-income earners.
Quest Vitality Medical Scheme has partnered with various healthcare providers, including hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities that offer quality care to provide affordable and patient-focused medical treatment.
In addition, Quest has also introduced Quest on the Go Medical Aid token, which will help people without a steady income get the healthcare they need.
Approximately 72 percent of the informal sector operators can have access to healthcare services through these primary care intervention medical access tokens.
In an interview, Quest Vitality Medical Scheme general manager Mr Godfrey Mushonga said marginalised societies often faced age-related health challenges such as managing chronic conditions and accessing regular medical care, a gap that Quest Vitality Senior Plan Packages have come to fill.
“Entering old age or retirement brings with it serious health challenges, which can be a challenge for most. However, it is also a time when a clear healthcare plan is needed.
“By covering day-today medical needs in exchange for a small monthly premium, it becomes easier to navigate these challenges without the stress of financial strain, and that is why Quest Vitality Medical Scheme has established a network of primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary and quinary service providers that offer cost-effective patient centred medical treatment, ” said Mr Mushonga.
The medical aid cover packages tailored for senior citizens provide comprehensive access to essential health services, including General Practitioner (GP) consultations and prescription medication.
It also covers mental health support and strategy, hospitalisation coverage, radiology services, access to psychologists, physiotherapy, audiometry, ophthalmology services, and ambulance services.
These services are designed to promote healthy aging, improve health outcomes, and enhance the overall well-being of senior citizens.
Provision of access to these critical services allows Quest’s medical aid cover packages to save lives through timely and effective medical interventions.
Quest Financial Services Group’s healthcare insurance subsidiary is a licensed medical aid provider (as per Section 4(1) of the Medical Services Regulations SI 330 of 2000).
