BYON8 has launched a new and affordable medical package for both corporates and individuals that seeks to make high-quality healthcare more accessible, affordable, and equal to all.
The new medical covers come in three packages and include the Premium package that goes for Ksh 695/ month, Elite Package that goes for Ksh 1695/ month, and Beyond Package that goes for Ksh 2495/ month.
The new packages will offer users free access to unlimited consultations, a personal team of up to 3 doctors and health and wellness reports given to you on an annual basis, and much more.
With the new medical package, individuals can benefit from paying for the medical cover on a monthly basis online and have an all-in-one unlimited outpatient care. Corporates on the other hand stand a chance to transparency with on-demand data access once needed as well as unlimited doctor consultations.
The signing up process is also quite straightforward as it only requires you to download the BYON8 App and follow less than 5 steps.
