The first step of the Tempo wellness programme is your Tempo Lifestyle Screening. For your convenience the lifestyle screening is available for completion via the Tempo portal on the Bestmed App.
The lifestyle screening intended for beneficiaries 16 years and older and includes: the Bestmed Tempo lifestyle questionnaire; a blood pressure check, cholesterol check, glucose check, as well as a height and weight checks.
Every member of your family (16 years and older) gets one (1) Tempo Lifestyle Screening per year and needs to complete their screening once a year. Benefits are allocated for each benefit year (1 January to 31 December), and do not carry over to the following year.
All Tempo benefits form part of the preventative care benefits offered by Bestmed and are paid from Scheme risk. Members should not pay any of the Tempo network pharmacies or other providers upfront when completing the Tempo Lifestyle Screening and the nutrition and/or physical wellbeing consultations. The Scheme will pay the claim based on the relevant benefit codes submitted by the relevant provider(s).
