Good4you Health Cash Plan

Frequently Asked Questions

By now you’re probably thinking of all sorts of questions about the plan. So here’s a selection of questions and answers that may help.

If you have a burning question that we haven’t yet answered, please feel free to get in touch by phone or email.

Who can join?

You are eligible to apply for cover if you are aged 16-65 (i.e. not yet 66), reside of the UK, Jersey or Isle of Man for a minimum of 6 months each year and are not a professional or semi-professional sports person.

(Don’t worry when you reach 66, your cover will continue)

Can I apply for family cover?

Your partner can have cover under his or her own policy. By doing so, as a couple you will have double the benefit allowances to use for your dependent children.

Can I opt out of the plan if I change my mind?

Yes, you have the right to cancel at any time. Your policy also contains a 14-day cooling off period from the date we accept your application. If you change your mind during this time, providing that you have not made or intend to make a claim, we will refund your full premium.

Can I increase or decrease my level of cover after I have joined?

Yes, absolutely. The plan is very flexible. If you wish to change levels, simply call us and we will make the necessary arrangements. (This is subject to the terms and conditions of the plan).

Why do I have to wait 3 or 6 months before I can claim?

SPECIAL OFFER: Join this month and your qualifying periods will be waived - so you can start claiming as soon as your cover starts.

If you apply for cover outside of a special offer we will ask you to wait a short qualifying period before you can claim on most benefits. You can enjoy some of your benefits such as the GP Telephone Consultation and Health Club Concession straight away.

This is in place to maintain the viability of our products and ensure our policyholders can enjoy affordable health plans, backed by award winning customer service. As a not for profit organisation we re-invest in our products and services, ensuring we offer the very best products on the market.

The length of qualifying period depends upon your level of cover and the benefit you are claiming. See section 4, terms and conditions within the Policy Document.

What if I have any pre-existing medical conditions - will I be covered?

Pre-existing medical conditions are not covered for any benefit other than for Optical and Dental. Click here for full information.

When will my premiums start?

This depends upon the date that we register you as a new policyholder. We usually debit premiums on the 7th of the month however you may, if you wish, request an alternative date to suit you. We will confirm the date of your Direct Debit in writing.

Where does it tell me exactly what I can and cannot claim for?

The Benefit Rules within the Policy Document tell you everything there is to know about what you can and cannot claim for under each healthcare benefit. The Benefit Rules section also details how you access the GP Telephone Consultation, Health Club Concession, 24 hr Counselling and Advice Line and A-Z Health Website too.
