UNISONplus 50+ Healthcare Plan

Looking after your eyesight is important which is why we give you an Optical cash benefit to visit any optician of your choice for eye tests, glasses and contact lenses. Even laser eye surgery is covered. You may never need to pay eye care bills yourself again!

Healthy teeth not only look good, they are vital for one of your body's primary functions - eating. You need them to last as long as possible and also to protect your smile! This is why it is important to look after them with regular trips to the dentist. Whether your dentist is NHS or Private, your bills will be fully covered up to your policy maximum.

If dental treatment is required as a result of an impact accident this extra cover is provided so you don't end up out of pocket by using your routine dental treatment benefit.

If you damage your dentures you will have this extra benefit to pay for repairs - unlike most other plans on the market.

Specialist consultations/tests are covered on referral from your G.P. – even if the condition existed before you took out the plan. You don't even have to worry about outlaying any cash either as the insurer pays most bills directly.

Therapies help with pain relief and with the treatment of injuries. Physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic are covered on this benefit. The UNISONplus Plan will cover the costs for you - even if you had the aches and pains or injury before you joined! You don't even have to worry about outlaying any cash either as the insurer pays most bills directly.
