Saga Health Insurance has launched Health Cash Benefits Cover, an option that provides up to £900 cash back per year for various health costs, including dental care, optical care and health screening for the over 50s.
Health Cash Benefits Cover is available as an optional extra on all Saga's Health Insurance policies and costs from £16.95 a month.
Saga Health Insurance has also introduced a Fast Track Appointments Service to its suite of policies.
Customers with an open referral from the GP will be able to use the appointment service to quickly identify the best consultant for them based on their expertise and location; we will then be able to book the appointment for the customer, saving them the trouble of arranging this themselves.
The Fast Track Appointments Service is available on all cover levels.
Roger Ramsden, chief executive, Saga Services: "Health bills shouldn't be like pulling teeth. Our new Health Cash Benefits Cover has been designed to help take the sting out of everyday medical bills.
"People can get up to £900 towards the cost of a range of dental and optical treatments, as well as health screenings for things such as diabetes and osteoporosis, for the price of a small monthly premium; it is actually very simple to claim back more money than you have spent in premiums.
"The Fast Track Appointments service is good news for people who dislike the process of searching for a consultant and then navigating their way through the hospital booking system."
