Why Preventive Care?
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 75% of deaths worldwide are caused by lifestyle-related diseases, a reality that is even more significant in Lebanon. Also, up to 80% of the largest health risks can be prevented. Preventive Care was designed to change the way we think about health insurance: from simply treating illness to actively preventing it, through screenings and lifestyle support, Preventive Care combines enhanced health benefits, higher coverage limits, and a unique Preventive Healthcare plan that puts personalized care at the heart of your health journey. Through lifestyle coaching, structured health screenings and tailored guidance from a General Practitioner (GP), every member receives the support they need to better understand and manage their health, with a dedicated Health Champion accompanying them every step of the way. Because the best care is not only about treating what happens, it is about helping prevent it in the first place.
The Client Journey:
From the moment you enroll in Preventive Care, you are guided through a personalized health journey by your dedicated Health Champion who will contact you to introduce the program and arrange your appointment with our partner laboratory. During your visit, a GP will review your medical and family history, lifestyle, and overall health to create a personalized screening plan tailored to your needs. Once your screenings are completed, the GP will walk you through the results and provide tailored recommendations and practical guidance to help you make informed choices for a healthier lifestyle. Your journey does not stop there: our medical committee reviews your file quarterly and follows up whenever needed.
When joining the program and at each renewal, our medical committee assesses your health and lifestyle to determine your Wellness Score. This may qualify you for a premium discount, because taking care of your health should be rewarding.
