What is it?

This plan provides you with 100% cashback on everyday healthcare costs up to chosen annual limits. There are three levels of cover to choose from, allowing you to claim back the cost of your healthcare such as eye tests, dental appointments, chiropody, physiotherapy and allergy testing.

How it works

  • Read all of the information available including the terms and conditions below before selecting this benefit.
  • Decide which of the three levels of cover would be best for you - and your partner, if required.
  • When you enrol, you will need to select your chosen level of cover and any dependents you want to cover.
  • If you've previously selected this benefit through my Aviva flex and you're happy with your level of cover you don't need to do anything at annual enrolment, the benefit will simply continue as before. You should still read the new terms and conditions however as some of the benefits have been revised.

Key points to consider

  • Could you afford emergency specialist treatment if you or your family needed it?
  • Do you have any ongoing health problems which need specialist treatment – such as sports injuries or back problems?
  • You should compare this benefit carefully to the private medical benefit and dental insurance benefits available through my Aviva flex.
  • Are you thinking about choosing dental cover? If you choose the healthcare cash plan, it will cover some or all of your Denplan premiums.
  • Dependent children who are under the age of 21 and living at home, or under the age of 24 in full-time education are covered on both Cover for You and Cover for You and Your Partner.

What happens next

The month after you have enrolled, a membership pack including details on how to make a claim will be sent to your home address.

Nerys

I never manage to save money and so I think the healthcare cash plan looks like a good way to cover myself for unexpected medical costs. I'll pay £17.90 a month for Level 2 cover so that I will get reimbursed for some of the health treatments I may need.

Tony

My wife and I have both had to spend money on expensive osteopathy and physio treatments in the past. We're choosing the Level 1 healthcare cash plan for £16.95 a month, which means we'll get money back towards our medical costs through my Aviva flex.
