Happy New Year!

We do hope you enjoyed the festivities and wish you a Happy and Prosperous 2013.

Seasons Greetings!

All of us at SJA International join in sending Seasons Greetings with all good wishes for the New Year.

Once again, instead of sending Christmas cards, we will be making a donation to our chosen charity, Rockinghorse.

Rockinghorse is a Brighton based charity whose aim is to improve the lives of sick children throughout Sussex.  They are the official fundraising arm of the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital and also supports the Trevor Mann Baby Unit, where they raise money for life-saving and cutting edge medical equipment, while ensuring the children are treated in an environment that is better suited to their needs.

Aviva Healthier Solutions Revamp

Customers of Aviva's individual private health insurance cover, Healthier Solutions, will benefit from the introduction of a range of additional benefits and options to their cover from 01 January 2013.  Changes will apply to existing customers from their next renewal on or after this date.

Each individual member of a Healthier Solutions policy will now earn their own No Claim Discount (NCD), rather than the NCD being applied to the policy itself.  This means that if one family member makes a claim, it does not affect the NCD of other members of the policy.

Each member will now also have a personal NCD allowance of £250 per policy year, allowing them to claim up to this amount for new claims without changing their NCD status1.

Aviva is also introducing a new £0 option for out-patient cover.  The new limit does not apply to out-patient treatment for cancer and will still have access to full cover for out-patient radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment, and CT, MRI and PET scans at recognised diagnostic centres.

In addition, increased benefits have been applied to psychiatric out-patient, minor GP surgery and children's speech therapy.
