Gerard Scott, Manager, Employee Benefits, Sagicor Life Inc
Trinidad and Tobago operations
Every single member of our group health or individual
health insurance plans gets a card, and users can access
some of the benefits of their health insurance contract
via this easily identifiable blue and green card.
The benefits are many, but this multifunctional card allows
our plan members with Sagicor health insurance to
enjoy three main things:
Sagicor and your
health insurance
Gerard Scott, Manager of the Employee Benefits department
of Sagicor Life Inc, with responsibility for group
and individual health policies, talks about Sagicor and its
CariCARE card
Sagicor is the leading financial services provider in the
Caribbean, operating in 23 countries including the USA
and Latin America. It dates back to 1840. We offer a
wide range of products and services, including life,
health and general insurance, banking, pensions, annuities
and real estate.
Choosing health insurance wisely is one of the most
important decisions an individual, a family or a company
can make. Sagicor is the only insurer with a threepronged
multifunctional approach to help modernise
access to your health insurance benefits.
This is facilitated by our CariCARE card, which has
always been part of our health insurance programmes,
but was revamped to encompass so much more in
2014.
1. The international toll-free numbers on the back
of the card allow access to emergency healthcare
if the plan member is faced with a medical
emergency threatening to life and limb while
travelling outside Trinidad and Tobago. The core
network and global network of international
hospitals are available at
http://sagicor.cmn-global.com.
2. The magnetic strip on the back of the card is
encoded with the name of the plan member and
his/her group or individual health contract number.
The magnetic strip is used when swiping the card
in Trinidad and Tobago only, and users can have
the portion of their claim that is covered by their
health plan paid immediately. Local providers with
this facility are accessible at our website at
https://my.sagicor.com/groupweb/ProviderList.aspx.
3. The Medicard logo on the back of the card allows
plan members to receive discounts locally
once they show the logo at participating institutions.
Medicard discount partners are listed on
the Medicard website, www.medicardlimited.
com. While any member of the public can purchase
a plan from Medicard, our health insurance
plan members get this discount facility free,
simply by being a member of a Sagicor health
plan. It not only saves you money on medical,
dental, and vison claims, but also gives you the
added value on discounts with non-insurance
items.
So whenever you consider your health insurance needs,
think Sagicor and its distinctive CariCARE card. Sagicor
provides you with wise financial thinking for life.
