The WELLTH Fund
Once you (and your family) have done a Health Check you will have access to the WELLTH Fund. The WELLTH Fund is designed to cover you for a range of important check-ups and other healthcare services you may want to do following your Health Check.
This benefit is available once all members on the membership have completed a Health Check. Once everyone on the membership has completed their Health Check, your WELLTH Fund will be activated.
The Fund covers a range of healthcare services focused on preventive care such as dental check-ups, mental health check-ups, men's and women's health check-ups, and certain medical monitoring devices.
