Health Insurance

Supreme Ventures partnered with Sagicor to facilitate health insurance to our retail network. This is an arrangement that has been months in the making, but in light of the local spread of the coronavirus and the nation-wide lockdown, we have fast-tracked the implementation of this milestone deal so that you will be able to access health coverage as soon as possible.

Under the partnership, registered SVL retailers will now be able to access health insurance at a reduced cost for themselves, their families and their employees. With this new health coverage plan, retailers will be asked to pay a minimal fee to cover themselves, their family and employees. The fee will be deducted from their monthly settlements to SVL and sent to Sagicor on their behalf.

There are options for individuals starting at $2,859 monthly and Family (covering up to 10 persons) starting at $7,935 monthly. Every plan offers medical, optical and dental coverage. The programme will lessen the financial burden of health care during this economic crunch and allow you to receive more coverage for yourselves and your team.

To access this facility, please contact our Customer Support team or your Business Development Officer. The basic information needed for your policy will be collected and given to Sagicor so you can access your benefits under the programme.

If you are still experiencing challenges making your regular deposits, then contact our Finance Department so we can arrive at the best arrangement for your business continuity needs.

At Supreme, we understand the importance of all our retailers and so we shall always stand in solidarity with you. We encourage you to continue harnessing that resilient Jamaican spirit as we navigate these challenging times together, and most of all, we ask that you, your families and team members remain safe.
