Members often ask me if they should change their plan choice. My answer would be: yes, if your benefits were insufficient this past year; if you expect your medical expenses to increase or decrease next year or if you have moved cities.Vitality has enhanced benefits and members can receive up to 25% on all HealthyFoods, 25% HealthyCare at Clicks and Dischem and 25% with HealthyGear at Sportsmans Warehouse and Totalsports. Members get 10% back on activation; and by completing the online tests (for example: Nutrition Assessment; Body Composition Assessment; Vitality Age and Fitness Assessment) get up to 25%. The PayBack is no longer based on your Vitality status but is a flat percentage.
Discovery Health has added CrossFit; Adventure Boot Camp and S.W.E.A.T to the sport providers and Discovery Health members get 25% discount at these providers.
You have from now until mid-December to make your plan choice for 2015. If you want to make any changes, please review the information sent to you by Discovery Health, the premiums for next year and visit the website. Please contact me as soon as possible, should you wish to make any changes to your health plan.
