medGP vs Flexi-Benefits: Which Model Fits Best Suits Your Workforce’s Needs?

Which Benefit Model Best Suits Your Workforce’s Needs?

Scenario A: GP Coverage – Cost Savings Comparison

Company A, a company with more than 50 employees, averages around $350 per employee, per year on their GP coverage.

Option 1: With medGP	Option 2: With medFlex
How it works: Pay $350 (flat-rate), employee can visit a GP clinic up to 14 times in a year. Benefits: - Cost predictability as yearly cost is fixed, helps to manage your healthcare budget more effectively. - Eliminate administrative hassle with cashless process and automated tracking of GP claims.	How it works: Depending on the number of times an employee visits a GP clinic, each visit may cost differently. Some employees might end up spending the full $350 on GP visits, while some employees may use less than the $350 on GP visits. Benefits: - As this solution follows a pay-per-use model and is highly customisable, you are able to set capping limits (e.g. cap per visit or co-payment) to control employees' spend on GP visits. - Prevent over-utilisation because employees that have used up the full $350 will have to pay the balance out of pocket.
