Kaumaatua can also opt in to a free standard individual Hato Hone St John annual membership through the Eke Manaaki initiative. Covers glasses and eye treatment, dental and dentures, specialist and GP visits, prescriptions, hearing, medical alarms and mobility or disability equipment. Note: the Southern Cross Health Insurance option within the main grant is only available 1 April - 30 June each year; outside that window the choice is between Triton Hearing, OPSM, or cash.
