No, as a Simplyhealth customer you still have a choice on how to use your plan whether that is via online or virtual services, or through physically visiting a health practitioner. The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has significantly changed the healthcare landscape including the frequency and ways our customers access help when they need it. Simplyhealth customers have increasingly been using all the video services available through their health plan – GP appointments, counselling sessions and virtual physiotherapy assessment – all proving to be a vital support during these uncertain times. We’ve introduced more virtual support through our SimplyMe app, helping you to enjoy a happy, healthy lifestyle every day. We have found that many customers have really valued the choice and convenience that online services give them.

COVID-19 has changed the way our customers work, connect and access healthcare. Our response to these changes has been rapid, putting our customers front and centre, ensuring that they continued to access healthcare with digital launches, were well supported and cared for. We also ensured the costs of these innovations and improvements were not passed on to our customers.

We continue to see an increase in the use of online assessments, consultations and appointments and we are encouraging claims from virtual sessions which are being settled in line with policy limits. Our health plan continued to offer reimbursement for hospital in-stay, optical wearables such as glasses, prescription sunglasses and contact lenses throughout the pandemic. Many of our customers used their optical benefit to receive their monthly contact prescription which continued to be fulfilled. Additionally, the Simplyhealth health plan provides an EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) service, Virtual Physio service and Virtual GP which were all utilised during this period.
