medication

doctors’ fees (general practitioner, specialist, etc.)

paramedical treatment (physiotherapist, orthopaedist, etc.)

Your staff members no longer need to keep track of pharmacy receipts or send them in to claim a refund. Instead, all they have to do is hand their My Healthcare Card to the pharmacist for scanning. The itemised receipts will be forwarded to AG Insurance electronically, and your staff will get their money back even faster than ever.

Critical illnesses

Your staff members will be entitled to year-round coverage for critical illness-related medical care, valid for 30 critical illnesses including cancer and diabetes. Even if no hospital stay is required.

Assistance while travelling abroad

With Hospicare Flexible, your staff members get the same extensive coverage all over the world, whether in Belgium or further afield. They’re also entitled to additional assistance services including repatriation if necessary. In addition, all hospital bills will be settled with the hospital directly (third-party payer agreement), with no advance payment required.  

Flexibility by design

You can opt to double the outpatient coverage period from one to two months before the hospital admission, and from three to six months after discharge.

Medi-Assistance third-party payer agreement

The concept is simple: your staff members report the hospital admission, ideally in advance, and AG Insurance settles the hospital bill with the hospital directly. Your staff members will never have to pay out of their own pocket at any time during their inpatient stay – not even a cash advance – and they’ll have the security of knowing immediately that their claim has been approved.

Not to mention that Medi-Assistance also entitles them to additional services prior to admission and after discharge. No small detail these days, as more and more patients convalesce in their own homes. These services include:

- during a hospital stay :

​​housekeeping

​childminding​

transportation to/from the hospital

- after a hospital stay :

housekeeping

childminding

post-natal care

errand services

transportation to/from the hospital

- psychological counselling year-round, even if unrelated to a hospital stay

"Luxury" hospitalisation insurance

If your plan includes Delta coverage, you’ll be providing your staff with extra protection for even greater peace of mind, making your hospital plan – and your company – an even more compelling proposition. Delta covers every possible need your staff members could have, including extended coverage before and after a hospital stay, palliative care, fertility treatments, etc.  

Protect your staff members all year round

On top of a comprehensive hospital plan, outpatient care coverage is a handy way to provide an extra layer of protection. With this coverage, your staff members will be able to claim back their medical expenses year-round, even outside the confines of an inpatient stay. This includes, for example, doctors’ appointments, dental care, physiotherapy, medical imaging, etc.
