multiple options
There is a pay per visit option
There is non refundable membership options avail for certain healthcare services that you pay for with your credit card upon first usage , you decide what healthcare service you want, they contact you and let you know how much that service is, you get charged initially and the rest of the charges fall under one membership fee per rest of the year, unless MediCall decides for some reason they want to stop service there there can be a pro-rated refund
There is an allowance for Provincial healthcare insurance (depending on the province you live in) to pick up some or all of the cost
Other insurances like what is provided by pension funds or employer insurance's are accepted options
There is also third party pay, like a direct employer that picks up some or all the tab, where the employer does not pick up all the tab and opts to pay for only some healthcare and a employee wishes to have more comprehensive healthcare MediCall can offer a blend
A membership may not cover all healthcare services , not all options are available to all users
Only additional fees would be If you request healthcare services that are outside of the membership and for healthcare services out side of their membership platform you must use the pay per visit platform
The entire platform was built very cleverly, MediCall is a platform offered to practitioners/healthcare providers to do their business on , MediCall extracts a fee for offering this platform to providers from the clients/patients paying for healthcare services
As a user/subscriber I can obtain credits that can be applied to fees charged to me for services by referring friends and family members
All I do is send the MediCall Referral link to said friend , they click on it and do registration, once the new prospect verifies their email and phone # the credit gets issued. At least that's how I remover in the disclosures.
I also remember there is no maximum to the level of credits you can earn. Wow!
To me this multi-level approach is sheer genius to grow the enterprise.
You can't skirt the system by opening multiple accounts either, they really put a lot of thought into this
You can also buy credits personally or as a gift I think
there was a ton of safe harbor statement how they will watch for any nefarious , fraudulent ect activity and reserve the right to boot your A$$ to the curb if they suspect any wrong doing ect
Very sophisticated and well thought out was my impression.
Thrres more but that's most of it that I recall
Hope that helps
Gotta run now
Thanks very much for the detailed explanation. Being of my age i.e. an old, old age pensioner, I will stick to the Provincial Medicare Plan along with my Extended Benefits Plan -- unless they happen to collapse in the meantime.
May I ask if you were not eligible for those plans and that is what made you choose to go with Medicall? The Provincial Medicare in B.C. used to have a monthly fee attached to it but that was removed a couple or more years ago. But then the system is also falling apart these days. Not sure if that is just poor management or a lack of funding - which may be one and the same.
