Children’s Health and Going Private with Sanitas

Children are naturally adventurous—so bumps, bruises, and unexpected illnesses are all part of growing up. With Sanitas private health insurance, families can handle life’s ups and downs with greater peace of mind. Adding children to your policy is a straightforward process, with flexible options to suit any family. Larger families see added value, as insuring more than one child can mean extra savings and simpler administration, making it easier to keep all your kids covered under one umbrella.

 

Injuries

Young children have boundless energy, and that often leads them into scrapes both big and small. Whether your child sprains an ankle at the playground, twists a knee playing sports, or takes an unfortunate tumble resulting in a fracture, Sanitas offers solid support. Quick access to pediatricians lets you address injuries with minimal waiting, and physiotherapy is covered when it’s part of recovery. For families, this speed of care means less worry, fewer missed school days, and a smoother path back to normal routines and playtime. If more specialized treatment is needed, Sanitas ensures referrals happen fast, so nothing stands between your child and the right care.

 

Tonsillitis

Coughs, sore throats, and fevers are frequent visitors during the school year. Tonsillitis can strike with little warning but knowing you can get advice quickly makes a difference. Thanks to the BluaU digital app, Sanitas puts a doctor at your fingertips—virtual consultations from home make it simple and fast to get a professional opinion. If your child needs tests or a referral to an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist, Sanitas health insurance will arrange it without frustrating delays. With these tools, you don't need to guess whether to wait things out or seek more support—help is always close by.

 

Cancer

A cancer diagnosis in a child is extremely rare, but having comprehensive cover in place provides real assurance for families. Sanitas gives policyholders access to highly trained medical teams and advanced hospitals, supporting your family through every stage of treatment and aftercare. Their approach combines expert diagnosis, ongoing treatment, and coordinated follow-up appointments, so that support is available throughout the toughest times. The entire process is handled with compassion, ensuring that families have both guidance and practical help every step of the way.

 

Dental Care

Dental health can’t be overlooked in childhood. Choosing dental cover from Sanitas means you can schedule regular check-ups, professional cleanings, and necessary treatments like fillings or crowns without the long waits that can occur in public clinics. Dental emergencies, like a chipped or knocked-out tooth, can happen after a simple fall. With Sanitas dental insurance, children are quickly seen and pain is managed promptly. Coverage of accidental injury, routine exams, and essential treatments means you can rely on good dental care and avoid unnecessary stress.

 

Ear Infections

Earaches and infections are all too common among young children. Fast access to pediatric healthcare is extremely valuable when pain, fever, or hearing issues appear. Sanitas covers initial examinations and, if problems persist, ensures referral to ear specialists is swift and seamless. Parents also benefit from the convenience of online and phone consultations via the BluaU platform, perfect for when leaving home just isn’t an option.

 

Eye Problems

Healthy eyesight is crucial for learning and play. Sanitas’s health insurance covers routine eye exams and visits to ophthalmologists or optometrists. If glasses or contact lenses are prescribed, families who select the optical add-on receive reimbursement for eligible expenses, helping to cover new or changing prescriptions as children grow. Importantly, families with children under six can add vision cover with no added costs, making it easier to detect and correct vision issues early and support children as their needs change.
