Overview
AfyaImara Seniors is an enhanced medical insurance product for people aged 65 to 80 (age next birthday). The brochure says accepted members can renew for life, subject to Old Mutual renewal review. It offers inpatient limits from KES 500,000 to KES 10,000,000 per person, optional outpatient limits from KES 100,000 to KES 200,000 per person, and optional dental and optical benefits that must be purchased together.
How it works
Select an inpatient limit and whether you are covering one person or yourself and your legal spouse. You may add optional outpatient cover, subject to the inpatient option selected, and/or add dental and optical benefits together. The calculator applies the per-person premium rates shown in the brochure, then adds the stated 0.45% levy and KES 40 stamp duty to the quote estimate.
