FAQs
What is the No Co-Pay benefit and who is eligible?
Effective June 1, 2024, there will be no co-pay charge for visits to your GP, including annual physicals and specialist visits. This benefit is for Argus Health members and applies to the maximum number of visits included in your policy – for some, this is unlimited.
How does it work?
When you visit your GP or specialist, simply present your Argus Health insurance information and the co-pay will be waived as per the terms of your policy.
How long will this no co-pay policy last?
The duration of this policy is currently indefinite; you will be notified of any changes.
Is there a limit on the number of visits or services covered under the No Co-Pay Offering?
You can enjoy no co-pay for as many visits as your policy allows. For example, if your policy includes four specialist visits per year, you can receive all four without any co-pay. Please review your Argus Health policy for details.
Do I still need to provide insurance information?
Yes, please provide your insurance information at your appointment as usual for billing purposes.
Will this affect my coverage or benefits?
No, your insurance coverage and benefits remain unchanged.
Are all services eligible for no co-pay? Are there any specific medical conditions or treatments excluded from the offering?
Most routine and preventive services are eligible. Services outside of physician visits, that include specific medical procedures or treatments, may not be covered under this policy, such as ultrasounds, chronic disease management, advanced endocrinology support, vaccinations, diagnostics, and Shock Wave Therapy. Please check with your physician’s office for specific details.
Can I still enjoy No Co-Pay if I'm a new patient to the practice?
Absolutely. New patients are welcome to benefit from the No Co-Pay policy. Please ensure you provide your Argus Health insurance information when scheduling your first appointment.
Can I choose any healthcare provider within the IHS and FPG network for my appointment?
Yes. With a network of 19 physicians at five accessible, island-wide locations, you are never far from accessing quality care when you need it.
Can I request a refund for a recent co-pay?
This policy came into effect on June 1, 2024. Any co-pay charged before the effective date is not eligible for a refund. If you were charged a co-pay for an appointment after that date, please email feedback@ihs.bm and we will review your request.
