Supplementary Health Fund (Contractual): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Security guards can access reimbursements for dental care and private medical visits through this health fund.
This scheme provides extra medical coverage for workers covered by the national labor contract for private security. It acts as a supplementary layer to the standard national health system, helping to manage costs for specialized care.
Who it's for
This fund is specifically designed for security guards who are employed under the national labor contract. If your employment is governed by the CCNL Vigilanza Privata, you are eligible to participate in this health coverage.
What you get
The fund provides financial support through reimbursements for specific medical needs. This includes coverage for private medical visits, which can help you avoid long wait times in the public system, as well as coverage for dental care services. These reimbursements are meant to offset the out-of-pocket expenses you would otherwise pay for these healthcare services.
What it costs you
To maintain this coverage, there is a small monthly deduction taken from your salary. This amount is deducted automatically as part of your payroll, so you do not need to make separate payments to keep the fund active.
The catch to know
The main thing to keep in mind is that the fund operates as a supplementary benefit linked to your employment contract. Because it is tied to your role as a security guard under the specific national labor contract, your eligibility is directly linked to your employment status and the terms of that contract.
How to apply
- Confirm your eligibility by checking your employment contract to ensure you are covered by the national labor contract for private security.
- Keep all receipts and documentation from your private medical or dental visits.
- Check with your employer or the relevant labor contract body to determine the current process for submitting your medical documents for reimbursement.
