Hospital Expenses Policy by Guardrisk

• Covers insured person up to amount specified (R50 000 per annum) for hospital admission as a result of accidental injury
• Excess (first amount) payable by member is R250 for each claim
• Maximum entry age for cover is 65 years

In order to be covered for hospital medical expenses: 

• One has to incur the medical expenses in a hospital
• These medical expenses must be the result of a bodily injury caused by an accident
• Sporting injuries are covered, provided the Insured is not a professional; is a first-time injury (not a pre-existing condition); and the injury can be ascribed to a specific unexpected event/accident
• Medical expenses incurred outside the hospital(casualty/pharmacy/pysiotherapy etc) are not covered
• Injuries caused by strains due to training or participation in sports would be excluded as these are natural health risks and not caused by an accident.Therefore,sports injuries for which there is no other outside contributing factors, other than pure body malfunction or lapse,would not be covered

How do I go about claiming accident insurance benefits?

Once you have been discharged from hospital, contact us on info@sweatsafe.co.za and we will forward you a claim form.
The claim form must be fully completed by all the relevant parties and forwarded to ourselves with supporting documentation.

When will my claim be paid?

On receipt of the requested documentation, we proceed to evaluate the claim and consult with medical staff related to your accidental injury and subsequent hospital admission.
We aim to finalize the claim as expeditiously as possible provided there are no unnecessary complications in the processing thereof.

Why do I receive a different pin number when I order a new band?

Our bands (velcro and silicone) are pre-made so that they can be dispatched immediately to new members when they join as well as to existing members who may have misplaced their old band or would like a spare.
Membership cards issued with your new band will contain your original pin number/s so should you still have your old band (velcro or silicone), then these can be worn interchangeably as all numbers will be linked to your confidential, secure, personal and medical datafile.
