MBS makes claims refund more convenient<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Over sixteen hundred (1, 600) beneficiaries of the\u00a0Medical Benefits Scheme (MBS)\u00a0have signed up to get their claims cheques paid directly into their bank account.<\/p>\n

Beneficiaries received their refund within two weeks or less.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the MBS has continued to make services more convenient to its customers and encourages members to\u00a0take advantage of this opportunity by signing up at the Customer Service Department on Nevis Street.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

An “EFT form” must be completed permitting the MBS to deposit a claims cheque to the beneficiaries bank account. Additional benefits of this service include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. No need to travel to MBS to collect a cheque<\/li>\n
  2. No need to stand in line to receive claims cheques<\/li>\n
  3. No more lost cheques and paying to replace them<\/li>\n
  4. No more forgetting to change cheques<\/li>\n
  5. No more stale dated cheques<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For more information, contact 481-6413\/6200.<\/p>
