How it works

Need to know
- The Virtual Vitality Health Check-in costs R186.80.
- The Virtual Vitality Health Check-in does not replace your in-person Vitality Health Check. You will earn 2500 Vitality points for your Virtual Vitality Health Check-in, but if you choose to you can still visit a pharmacy or your GP to do an in-person Vitality Health Check. You can only earn a maximum of 22 500 points for understanding your health, even if you do both a virtual and an in-person Vitality Health Check.
- If you qualify to earn the 2 500 Vitality points, we will award these points to you within 5 - 7 working days. You can find out more about your benefits from Vitality here.
- Members of most medical schemes administered by Discovery Health, are covered for one Virtual Vitality Health Check-in a year from your Screening and Prevention Benefit - it won't impact your day-to-day benefits (if you are in a general waiting period, your medical scheme does not cover this).
- The Virtual Vitality Health Check-in can only be completed by booking your appointment online.
- We've streamlined the process used to allocate Vitality points. This means that you no longer have to manually claim for your Vitality points online, the provider you visit will do so.
