Description
At Momentum Medical Scheme, our management and treatment of HIV/Aids is aimed at giving members access to the most appropriate medical care for wellness, prevention and care, so members with HIV/Aids can live a normal and productive life. To get access to the HIV/Aids benefits, members of Momentum Medical Scheme must register on the Lifesense HIV programme.
Who needs to register?
Any member who tests HIV positive should join the Lifesense HIV programme as soon as they receive their test results. The HIV Elisa test is covered under the Health Platform Benefit once every five years for beneficiaries who are 15 years and older, subject to pre-notification.
Pregnant members should join the programme as soon as they are aware of their HIV status, to help protect their unborn baby from getting the virus.
How to register
Your registration and participation on the programme are kept confidential. Confidentiality will be respected by all staff managing your condition. To register on the HIV programme, you or your treating doctor need to contact Lifesense on 0860 50 60 80. Lifesense has been appointed by the Scheme and will manage your condition by working with your doctors to create a complete treatment plan. You will also get education and ongoing support as well as access to ARV medication, when it is appropriate. The Scheme will manage the yearly limits on this benefit.
Benefits for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) treatment
By calling Lifesense, members can get access to prophylactic treatment for the prevention of infection by the HIV virus if they have been exposed to HIV by accident (for example needle stick injury) or in the unfortunate event of rape.
