HIGHLIGHTS 2019

• Solvency ratio of 49%.• Healthy reserve level of 29.1%• Membership growth of 1%• The Fund continued to honour claims and award assistance through the ex gratia programme.

PREMIUM CONTRIBUTIONS

Although the Fund aims to keep the annual increase as low as possible, it is necessary to implement an increase to ensure that the Fund remains in a position to cover medical claims sufficiently according to the benefit structure and to cover costs related to medical inflation, tariff increases and benefit adjustments. The average premium increase for 2020 is 6.5% for groups and 6% for individual members. Contribution tables for the Diamond and Sapphire options have been restructured to a Member/Adult/Child basis. The single

parent reduction in premiums will remain at 12.5% in the total contribution of single parents with children as dependants on their membership on the Ruby option.

Two new generation options have been introduced to cater to the needs of members who require day-to-day benefits for out-of-hospital expenses on their comprehensive hospital plan. The new options replace the savings options, which were phased-out following a directive by the regulator, NAMFISA in 2018.

BENEFIT OPTIONS

Traditional Options – there are seven traditional options that cater from entry-level to comprehensive benefits. The traditional options are Diamond, Sapphire, Ruby, Jade, Opal, Topaz Plus and Topaz. Please refer to the 2020 Member Guide for the detailed benefits and contributions on each option.

New Generation Options – New Generation Options – the new generation options, Emerald and Amber, cater for comprehensive hospital cover. New options, “Amber Plus” and “Emerald Plus” were introduced to cater to the needs of members requiring day-to-day benefits, 95% of the unused benefits will “roll-over” to the next year. Please refer to the 2020 Member Guide on the detailed explanation on Emerald and Amber’s benefits.

BENEFIT ADJUSTMENTS 2020

Inflationary increases were made on most of the benefits, with significant improvement on the following benefits:• Insulin pump and consumables benefit limit for

Diamond, Sapphire and Ruby options.• A standalone benefit for Primary health care on

Opal, Jade, Ruby, Sapphire, Diamond, Emerald Plus & Amber Plus.

• A separate benefit for lifestyle management for various screenings.

• All-inclusive (in and out-of-hospital) limited benefit for Oncology.

• Ante-natal and post-natal benefit added to the maternity benefit.

Please refer to the options section for detailed benefits.

The completed form must reach the Fund on or before 15 January 2020.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS AND SERVICES OFFERED BY NMC FOR 2020 AT NO ADDITIONAL COST

1. International Medical Travel InsuranceThe International Medical Travel Insurance makes provision for emergency medical expenses whilst NMC members and/or their dependants are travelling. The cover is limited to N$ 10 million per incident and up to a maximum of 90 days per trip and 180 days in total per annum in a foreign country. The International Medical Travel Insurance does not apply to any non-emergency and planned elective surgery or procedure. This benefit is not applicable to Topaz Plus and Topaz members. Apply for your travel certificate before you embark on your trip.

2. Emergency EvacuationThe Fund offers emergency air and road ambulance evacuation services to NMC members. All authorised air ambulance flights and long-distance road ambulance transport services are covered. The cover provides the best possible, most effective and efficient emergency evacuation services. All emergency services for life-sustaining conditions that require emergency transport are covered.

3. Premium WaiverThe Premium Waiver benefit covers a member’s premiums for 3 (three) months in the event of the principal member passing away, on condition that the members are fully paid-up on their monthly premium. This benefit is not applicable to Topaz Plus and Topaz members.

4. Special Premium for Single ParentsThe special premium for single parents was implemented to lighten the financial burden of single parents. A 12.5% reduction is awarded on the total contribution of single parents with children as dependants on the Ruby option.

5. Benefit BoosterThe Benefit Booster is a supplementary benefit on certain day-to-day medical services where the overall

annual limits have been exceeded. Should a member or a dependant’s day-to-day benefit limit on General Practitioner, Specialist, Medicine (self-medication excluded), Primary Healthcare, Dentistry, Auxiliary and Out-of-Hospital casualties be depleted, the Benefit Booster will automatically take effect. The Benefit Booster is only applicable to the Diamond, Sapphire, Ruby, Jade and Opal options.

6. Additional Hospital Benefit Cover (AHB)AHB Cover pays (from the first dollar) the excess of NAMAF tariff for General Practitioners and/or Specialists should a member/dependant be hospitalised. Hospitalisation can be traumatic, unexpected and expensive and, NMC therefore, believes that AHB will be of immeasurable financial value when our members need it most. NMC pays 100% of NAMAF tariff PLUS a maximum of 125% additional cover for any excess of the NAMAF tariff that General Practitioners and Medical Specialists may charge.

This service is part of NMC’s drive towards its members’ overall wellbeing.

9. HIV/AIDS Outreach ProgrammeNMC recognises the importance of HIV/AIDS positive members to be sufficiently covered for uninterrupted treatment and healthcare management. Provision of HIV/AIDS benefits on ALL options has therefore been made and provide members with peace of mind that they will not run out of benefits during the year. The Namibian-

owned HIV/AIDS Disease Management Programme is administered by MyHealth Administrators. The programme is managed by qualified HIV/AIDS Case Managers, HIV Counsellors and a Medical Advisor who provides monitoring, support and total confidence to members who are HIV positive.

LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

The Lifestyle Management program is a program designed to assist members to improve lifestyle choices to prevent or reduce the progression of chronic diseases as well as counselling to prevent health problems.

Taking a holistic approach into consideration the Lifestyle Management aims to understand how people can change unhealthy habits into healthy habits by:

• Reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, cancer and many other preventable chronic diseases

• Optimise fitness• Achieve and maintain a healthier weight• Improve blood pressure and cholesterol values• Manage stress better• Improving one’s mental health • Stop using tobacco• Choose healthier foods• Master other health issues important to individuals• Immunizations can help you and your family stay

healthy.

In addition, the Lifestyle Management programme continues to bring routine medical check-ups directly to our members. The Corporate Lifestyle Management programme is amongst the most vital investments that an employer can make – this enables the employers to invest in the physical and mental wellbeing of their employees.

How to Book a Lifestyle Management Day • An employer group contacts the Lifestyle

Management department and requests a corporate lifestyle screening.

• Appointment/dates are scheduled to ensure maximum staff attendance.

• The Lifestyle Management team will go to the employer group and perform the basic general screenings: random glucose, random blood cholesterol, blood pressure, weight, waist circumference and calculate the Body mass index (BMI).

During the screenings each member will receive a full consultation on their results; and if any health irregularities are identified, the following procedure is followed: • Referral from the Lifestyle management department

to see a dietician or biokineticist. • Referral to a general practitioner for medication

management. • Health advice is given to staff with regards to healthy

lifestyle choices and exercises.

The vision of the Lifestyle Management team is to continuously provide members and employer groups with relevant information on healthy lifestyle choices, how to effectively manage your benefits and with the aid of health professionals to assist in accomplishing a healthier lifestyle and create awareness on mental health and other health related issues.

The Lifestyle management team also hosts open days for small groups and individual members at shopping malls, dates are communicated via our social media platforms. Our intention is to provide this service to all regions annually on a rotational basis.
