Welcome to your Sky healthcare planThe health of our people is very important to us at Sky so we have made private

healthcare available to all of our permanent employees. The plan is administered

on Sky’s behalf by Aviva and is provided by a trust.

The aim of our healthcare plan is to diagnose and treat acute short-term medical

conditions. In simple terms, an acute medical condition is a disease, illness or injury

that is likely to respond quickly to treatment. The plan gives access to private healthcare

to provide an alternative, more convenient, and potentially quicker route for treatment

than the NHS. The NHS continues to be the best route for the treatment of

chronic conditions, often being long-term, ongoing medical conditions for which

longer-term control and monitoring may be required. So the Sky healthcare plan, in

keeping with the majority of private healthcare plans, does not provide benefit for

chronic conditions and the NHS should be used for their treatment.

The plan benefits are in addition to the NHS, which should be the first point

of contact before any referrals can be made to the Sky healthcare plan, with a couple

of specific exceptions. It is important that you understand the claims process described

in this booklet as this will help speed up your access to treatment under the plan.

Healthcare optionsWe listen to feedback from Sky’s people and recognise that as we’re all different,

we all need different benefits at different stages in our lives. There are 3 benefit options

for our people to choose from to provide the right level of benefit for your current needs:

l Sky Healthcare: The basic healthcare plan pays for a wide range of treatment and

diagnostic tests as an out-patient (up to a combined total of £1,500 per member per

scheme year – some benefits are not subject to the out-patient limit) but no benefit

for in-patient or day-patient treatment, for which you would need to use the NHS.

l Sky Healthcare +: The core healthcare plan pays for a wide range of treatment as an

out-patient (up to a combined total of £1,500 per member per scheme year – some

benefits are not subject to the out-patient limit) and as an in-patient, potentially

providing a quicker route to treatment than the NHS, subject to you paying an excess

of £125 per member per scheme year. Physiotherapy received through the BacktoBetter

service or treatment received through the Mental Health Pathway will not be subject to

the excess.

l Sky Healthcare + Extra: The comprehensive healthcare plan pays for a wide range of

treatment as an out-patient and as an in-patient potentially providing a quicker route

to treatment than the NHS, subject to you paying an excess of £125 per member per

scheme year and an annual upgrade charge, deducted via payroll. Physiotherapy

received through the BacktoBetter service or treatment received through the Mental

Health Pathway will not be subject to the excess.

Further details on the benefits available for each option are provided in this guide.

Information on how to make your choice is available at www.myskyrewards.com

How you make a claim for back, neck, muscle and mental health symptoms

Please call us so that we can confirm:l the details of your membership

l the treatment you require is eligible for benefit under the terms of your plan

l if there are any limits that apply to your benefit which you should be aware of, or

l for symptoms requiring GP referral, that your recommended specialist and hospital

are recognised by us.

Back, neck, muscle or joint pain

BacktoBetter service

Step 1 – If you’re unwellFor back, neck, muscle or joint pain the BacktoBetter

service should be your first point of call with no need to

contact your GP.

Just call the customer service helpline.

If your claim is managed through telephone support or a course of face-to-face physiotherapy, neither the excess or the out-patient limit will apply. The excess and out-patient limit will apply to any other investigations, consultations with a specialist or treatment.

Step 2 – Calling the customer service helpline

Please call the customer service helpline on

0800 046 8312. Before you make this call, please check

that you have to hand:

l your plan number, which is detailed on the front of

this member guide

l details of your symptoms and when they started.

One of our advisers will arrange for a clinical case manager from the BacktoBetter team to contact you at a convenient time to assess your symptoms.

An on-site physiotherapist is available for employees at Osterley.

The following outlines how a claim works in practice:

If you have back, neck, muscle, joint pain or mental health symptoms you do not need to see a GP before contacting us – call us straight away on the customer service helpline number to access the clinically led BacktoBetter service or mental health pathway.

For all other conditions , either visit your GP in the usual way, or access Aviva Digital GP. If the GP refers you to a specialist for diagnostic tests or treatment, you can start a claim by calling the customer service helpline on 0800 046 8312, or online through MyAviva.

If you’re worried about your mental wellbeing,

our clinical case management approach can help.

There’s no need to make an appointment with your GP

How you make a claim for back, neck, muscle and mental health symptoms

If you do not contact the customer service helpline and you continue with any recommended diagnostic tests or treatment, you

may have to pay the costs for these services if they are not paid for by your healthcare plan.

To make the process as quick and easy as possible, most claims will be telephone assessed by our experienced claims advisers.

This means we can take all the necessary medical information from you over the telephone to confirm your benefit and no claim

form will be required (some situations will require more information from your GP or specialist).

Private Healthcare Information Network

You can find independent information about the quality and cost of private treatment available from doctors

and hospitals from the Private Healthcare Information Network: www.phin.org.uk

Step 3 – Telephone clinical assessment

Using evidence-based medical guidelines a clinical case

manager will conduct a thorough assessment of your

problem and recommend the most effective course

of treatment. If clinically appropriate, this will include

being referred to one of the BacktoBetter approved

physiotherapists for treatment within two working days

and/or onward referral to a specialist.

The clinical case manager will provide advice to help

you manage symptoms and pain, how best to remain

active with a tailored home exercise programme and will

continue to monitor your progress throughout your claim.

Step 3 – Get your personal treatment plan

From a range of treatment options, the therapist will

agree what’s the most appropriate help for you,

these options include:

l self-directed online services

l remote therapy (telephone or video link)

l face-to-face treatment

l further assessment by a psychiatrist, if clinically

necessary.

All treatment is led by experienced mental health

therapists working in conjunction with our independent

clinical provider. Then, at the end of treatment you’ll be

provided with a plan to help manage your symptoms in the

longer term.

Step 4 – Payment of bills

All eligible bills will be settled by us directly with the

treatment provider, and most specialists and hospitals

send copies of their bills straight to us for payment.

If you do receive a bill for your treatment please ask your

specialist to send another copy straight to us. Alternatively

you can send your copy of the bill to us, together with your

plan number so that we can arrange payment. Please send

it to:

Bill Payment Team Aviva Health UK Limited Chilworth House Hampshire Corporate Park Templars Way Eastleigh Hampshire SO53 3RY

We’ll contact you to advise if you need to pay any part of

the bills, for example, if you have an excess.

How to make a claim forany other symptomsFor all other conditions it’s important that you contact the customer service helpline on 0800 046 8312 before you undertake any specialist consultations or receive any private medical treatment on referral from your GP or digital GP.

Any other symptoms

Step 1 – If you’re unwell

For any other symptoms, please contact your GP or digital GP in the first instance. If they refer you for further assessment

or treatment, please contact us to discuss the details of your claim and check that the costs of private medical treatment will

be paid for under your healthcare plan.

If you have an open referral, with no specialist name, we can help to find the specialists in your area that work out of a

hospital on your list. This sometimes means you can get an appointment quicker as you can arrange an appointment with the

specialist that can see you at a time that suits you.

An excess of £125 per member per scheme year applies to all members on the Sky Healthcare + and Sky Healthcare + Extra options.

Step 3 – Diagnostic tests, treatment or surgery

If your specialist decides you need hospital treatment they will arrange this with you. It is important you call us to let us know:

l where you will be treated

l when you plan to have your treatment

l the procedure code (called the CCSD code), which your specialist will provide you with.

Step 2 – Calling the customer service helpline

Please call the customer service helpline on 0800 046 8312. Before you make this call please check that you have to hand:

l your plan number, which is detailed on the front of this member guide

l details of your symptoms and when they started

l what your GP or digital GP has told you

l the name of the person you’ve been referred to and the hospital they work out of.

If you have an open referral, with no specialist name, we can help to find a specialist in your area who works out of a hospital

on your list.

Step 4 – Payment of bills

All eligible bills will be settled by us directly with the treatment provider, and most specialists and hospitals send copies of their

bills straight to us for payment. If you do receive a bill for your treatment please ask your specialist to send another copy straight

to us. Alternatively you can send your copy of the bill to us, together with your plan number so that we can arrange payment.

Please send it to:

Bill Payment Team Aviva Health UK Limited Chilworth House Hampshire Corporate Park Templars Way Eastleigh Hampshire SO53 3RY

We’ll contact you to advise if you need to pay any part of the bills, for example, if you have an excess.
