Preferred Provider means that you use specified doctors or institutions, which are identified upfront. We have also forged alliances with some of the best healthcare providers and administrators worldwide. LifeCare's network of PPOs includes qualified and experienced medical practitioners and specialists, hospitals, pharmacies and laboratories.

The comprehensive medical plan offers medical cover that allows immediate treatment with a small co-payment and no completion of claim forms. With Provisor you even have the option of using practitioners and facilities outside the network.

LifeCare: Quantum

Quantum offers two types of medical plans: (1)Basic plus Supplementary Major Medical (2) Comprehensive Major Medical. The Basic plus Supplementary Major Medical offers the basic benefits section which has specific dollar and number of treatment limits per 90 day period of disability and the supplementary major medical benefit section which takes effect once you have satisfied a calendar year deductible. You are then reimbursed a percentage of the eligible medical expenses up to the maximum Major Medical benefit limit.

The Comprehensive Major Medical plan provides complete and substantial medical expense coverage under one plan, which takes a calendar year deductible (a specified flat amount before any benefits are payable) and reimburses a percentage up to a specified dollar limit. The amount not reimbursed is called the co-insurance, which is a percentage of the eligible medical expenses in excess of the deductible.

The Quantum Plans can be easily customized and therefore offer more liberal benefits based on the clients' healthcare need. Members also have the flexibility of choosing their personal Providers.
