What inpatient limits are available on First Assurance First Med?
The limits we quote are KSh 500,000 to KSh 5,000,000 per year. Each limit is a separate plan with its own benefits schedule, so the premium and the sub-limits change with the limit you pick.
Can I add outpatient, maternity, dental or optical cover?
Yes. Depending on the plan, optional benefits can be added at the amounts listed above. Outpatient cover is normally required before dental or optical benefits can be selected.
Who can be covered?
This product covers a principal member, and can include a spouse and children on the same policy.
How is the premium paid?
Premiums are paid directly to First Assurance using the payment details printed on your quotation. Now Insurance Agency does not receive or handle client payments.
How long does cover take to start?
Cover is typically confirmed within 1 to 5 working days after payment or IPF settlement and receipt of complete documents, subject to the insurer's underwriting and acceptance.
