Afya Imara Junior ~ UAP OldMutual's New Health Insurance Cover For Children

Afra Imara Junior, a new Health Insurance product, has just been released by UAP OldMutual. It targets children from birth to 18 years of age, or up to 21 years with proof of continuing studentship. The product has two main components:

1) Primary Inpatient cover, with benefits ranging from KES 500,000/- to KES 5,000,000/- per year.
2) Optional Outpatient cover, with benefits ranging from KES 50,000/- to KES 150,000/- per year

Since most parents are already allowed to include their birth-children under their own covers, and in the same age-bracket as envisaged in the new product, Afra Imara Junior seems to open a window of opportunity for children who are not born of the adult or adults who offer to give then cover. There is, indeed, specific mention not just of a parent but also a guardian. So guardians with means are winners here -- for the children under their care.

Alternatively, some parents may discover that giving their own children cover under this scheme helps to stretch the benefits of their own cover. Whatever the case, however, a certain amount of calculating will be required to arrive at a 'happy-medium'. Details of the new product can be found at the link below.
