overview

The Sagicor health insurance system is based on a prepayment programme. We establish relationships with providers, i.e., doctors, dentists, optical providers, pharmacies, medical laboratories and hospitals, to provide health care services to subscribers of Sagicor health plans.

Sagicor Life began the issuing of Electronic FastCards to its subscribers in August 2000. This made it possible for participating providers to check their balances on certain benefits as well as to determine if the subscribers are eligible for the services.

HOW THE FAST CARD WORKS

When you visit a Sagicor participating provider for health care service:

  • Present the card to the health care provider.
  • The provider will swipe the card to access your health coverage and benefits. If you have enough money on your card, the transaction will be approved. A receipt will be printed as confirmation. You must sign that slip. If the transaction is denied, this means you may have exceeded your maximum on that benefit. You will be required to pay the provider the full amount for service.

If you visit a non-participating provider, you will have to pay the provider in full for service. Ask the provider to complete and sign a claim form for you and be sure to obtain a receipt for the amount that you have paid. This can then be submitted to Sagicor for reimbursement of the eligible amount paid.
