Be proactive about your wellbeing by completing the new Health Check 65+ screening available to TFG Medical Scheme members. The Health Check 65+ is an enhanced set of screening tests aimed at providing insights into unique health risks specific to older adults.
A decline in immunity as we age makes older adults more susceptible to disease. Members of TFG Medical Scheme who are 65 years of age or older qualify for the Health Check 65+ and additional screening benefits.
The Health Check 65+ is made up of the following screenings
Standard Health Check screenings:
- Blood pressure
- Blood glucose
- Cholesterol
- Body mass index
- HIV
Additional Health Check 65+ screenings:
- Visual acuity screening
- Hearing screening
- STEADI falls-risk assessment
- Pneumococcal vaccination
- Seasonal flu vaccination
Your cover for the Health Check 65+
If you are a member of TFG Medical Scheme and you are 65 years or older, you are covered for one Health Check 65+ a year at a wellness provider in our network. We pay for the Health Check 65+ from your Screening and Prevention Benefit. This means it won't affect your day-to-day benefits. You may also have cover for an additional GP consultation at a Premier Plus GP, depending on your screening test results and if you meet the Scheme's clinical entry criteria.
Enjoy weekly rewards for achieving your health goals
By completing your Health Check 65+, you may qualify for rewards when you reach your personalised health goals.
