Age Concern members are invited to an information session about their health insurance.

The event, “Understanding Your Insurance Coverage”, which will take place on Tuesday, is being run in conjunction with the Health Insurance Department and MoonGate Insurance.

It will include information on the new benefits and premium changes that are effective September 1, for HIP and FutureCare policy holders.

According to a press release from Age Concern, MoonGate Insurance will provide further insight on market and consumer changes and also describe the features of HealthGap, which is its supplemental health insurance product.

They will also discuss their recent addition of the WellCard, which Age Concern says has already proven to be valuable for seniors. Argus Insurance will also be available to provide information on their home and motor insurance offerings for seniors.

Claudette Fleming, executive director of Age Concern Bermuda, stated: “There seems to be so much going on at such a fast pace.

“We saw the need to host a special seminar for our members to assist in helping them in understanding the changes in their insurance coverage and how these changes will impact them.

“We are pleased that the Health Insurance Department, MoonGate Insurance and Argus Insurance companies have reached out to us in an effort to achieve our goal of providing reliable information on insurance coverage to our members.

“We urge our members who are HIP and FutureCare subscribers, not to miss this important opportunity to gain clarity on the changes being made to HIP and FutureCare effective September 1, and how they will be impacted.

“For persons who may not be members of Age Concern, we will do our best to accommodate your attendance as well. And, if you are over 50 years old, we invite you to take this opportunity to join Age Concern. Registration for all attendees is required.”

The information session takes place on Tuesday from 1pm to 3pm at Charities House, 25 Point Finger Road, Paget.
