CoopCare

A Health Insurance solution built for Cooperative Members

We do health insurance differently - with more coverage,
less hassle, and perks that give you the most out of your premium.

What is CoopCare?

This is a medical product tailormade for Cooperative members and affiliates with a minimum membership of 4 principal members. The product allows members for a cooperative to enjoy a group cover on fairly priced group terms. The product covers Inpatient, Outpatient, Maternity, Dental, Optical and Last Expense benefits. One may choose to purchase Inpatient only or both Inpatient and Outpatient benefits.

Affordability is at the center of this product with a carefully selected low-cost provider panel mainly encompassing mission hospitals and low-cost private hospitals.

Members can take up the product as a family package allowing up to six dependents  or as a member only. Any family beyond the member and six dependents category will attract a minimal additional premium to cover the extra dependents.

How it Works

  • Product type: micro health insurance
  • The product allows members of a cooperative to enjoy a group cover on fairly priced group terms.
  • This is a medical product tailor-made for registered Cooperative members with a minimum membership of 4 principal members.
  • Once a Cooperative hit the threshold count of 4 principal members or more, the relevant Cooperative administrator verifies the details and submits to CIC for policy creation.
  • Once the registered members are verified and premium settled by the Cooperative, the member policies are activated and begin running at the start of the following month.
  • CoopCare Health insurance photo cards will be issued within 5 workings days on submission of full documentation from the Cooperative.
  • Where the threshold of the minimum number of 4 verified members isn’t met or payment from the Cooperative isn’t received, the members are pushed to the next month for verification and activation of their policies.
