Special class customers get the most for their hospital bills

Various levels of coverage offer special class customers the best treatment and freedom from financial stress during hospital stays. With the MedUNIQA card introduced in 2008, over half a million customers now hold their “ticket” for a special class of treatment and are also eligible to receive extensive information on a wide range of health-related topics. The UNIQA medication compass and hospital compass are useful aids in all matters to do with medications, hospitals and their specialities as well as medical institutions. In addition, the MedUNIQA card can be expanded into a card for storing diagnoses for seamless documentation of a customer’s personal health history. The card can even so be used as an emergency card by storing important information such as advance directives or family contact persons.

Private supreme – still on top

In the area of private health insurance, the product Private Supreme is an ideal combination of excellent health insurance, effective preventive measures and useful assistance services. This policy covers the key areas of medical treatment, future provisions and fitness.

The insured can make use of a biannual VitalCheck, which encompasses informative examinations at the highest medical level. A personal VitalCoach works with the insured on matters of fitness and creates an individual training plan based on a FitnessProfile. If a hospital stay becomes necessary, the customer enjoys all the advantages of a private patient. The decisions regarding medical treatment remain entirely within the hands of the insured. For example, UNIQA takes on the costs for out-patient medical treatment, special services and prescribed medications. Medical questions are answered around-the-clock by the team of physicians at UNIQA’s Medical CallCenter. Even in event of traumatic experiences, such as developing cancer or the death of a family member, UNIQA stands by its customers and organises psychological care.

First Care – private health insurance for young people

With First Care, UNIQA offers a private health insurance policy for children and young people with automatic adaptation to growing insurance needs as life progresses. Up to the age of twelve, UNIQA covers the full costs for an accompanying person in all Austrian hospitals and public hospitals in Europe. For ages twelve to 18, First Care covers special class treatment for the child in a two-bed room for accident-related hospital stays. Upon reaching adulthood, UNIQA covers all additional costs for special class treatment in the hospital after an accident as well as for many serious illnesses.

Nursing care insurance even at a young age

In the area of nursing care insurance, UNIQA now offers an inexpensive entry option at a young age – because the earlier the insurance is purchased, the less expensive the premium. This allows sufficiently high coverage for possible nursing needs in the future to be acquired for even relatively low payments. Naturally, UNIQA also offers older people the option of concluding policies for nursing care coverage.
