Medicash have now created an app that will help you get the most from your health plan benefits. With this app you’ll be able to:
– View a summary of your benefits and check your remaining allowance
– Make a claim directly through the app – removing the need to post in your receipts
– Find the best way to contact Medicash with any queries.
All you need to get started is your Medicash policy number, contact your local payroll for this.
To get started, simply go to the App Store or Google Play and search ‘Medicash’ to download the app today. Any claims that you submit through the app will be received by us instantly and you’ll receive an email to confirm receipt. Your claim will then be processed as usual. If apps aren’t your thing, you can still continue to send in your claims in the usual ways.
