Sanlam, in collaboration with Allegra, is proud to introduce Sanlam Staff Care, a healthcare initiative aimed at providing affordable access to primary healthcare services for a significant portion of the workforce.
Launched on 1 April 2024, Sanlam Staff Care is set to redefine employee healthcare benefits by offering innovative, cost-effective solutions for members of the Sanlam Umbrella Fund. The offering is available to Employers to sign up all of their employees, or a category of employees at R25 per member per month.
Sanlam Staff Care’s primary objective is to provide private primary healthcare services at affordable rates. By doing so, Sanlam aims to bridge the gap in healthcare access, ensuring that employees receive timely care to support their well-being and productivity.
Sanlam Staff Care offers a range of innovative features designed to enhance employee well-being:
1.Virtual Nurse: Sanlam Umbrella Fund employees can already access free virtual consultations with a nurse, GP or Psychologist via the Sanlam Member Portal or Sanlam Portfolio app. The virtual nurse consultation remains the first point of contact. These consultations allow for quick and convenient triage, providing employees with immediate healthcare guidance.
2. Virtual GP Consultation: For more comprehensive care, employees have access to a network of virtual GPs. The nurse can seamlessly transfer patients to a virtual doctor for further management when necessary.
3. In-Person GP Consultations: Employees who belong to an employer that has signed up for the Sanlam Staff care benefit offering, can also book in-person consultations with Pharmacy Clinic Nurses for face-to-face care. If required, the virtual doctor will issue referral letters for in-person consultations with pharmacy nurses and doctors, ensuring continuity of care.
