About Us Questions
BIG is a health and wellness subscription company that seeks to reduce the burden of chronic non-communicable diseases in Jamaica by providing preventative health subscription plans to low-income individuals and underserved communities. Through our Expatriate for Total Care (EAT) partnership model, Jamaicans of the diaspora can share the cost of health membership with their loved ones in Jamaica. BIG offers expatriates and local Jamaicans an opportunity to improve health outcomes and bolster healthcare utilization in the private sector, in order to improve Jamaican health care access overall. BIG focuses on affordable and accessible coverage through our most common preventative health subscription packages, which provides #microHEALTH, #microDENTAL, and #microVISION coverage.
BIG’s mission is to offer affordable, accessible health subscription options for low income individuals and families seeking private primary care coverage. The goal is to empower communities with basic preventative health coverage, and reduce the burden of chronic diseases, and utilization of public hospitals and health centers for acute/minor treatable illnesses.
Health Subscription Plan Basics
BIG offers microinsurance packages that cater to specific needs, including coverage of essential health needs such as annual physical exams, preventative screenings, through specialized health subscription plans ranging from Basic to Premier Plans.
BIG #microHEALTH: offers affordable coverage for preventative care, routine visits for hypertension, diabetes, or hyperlipidemia towards managing cardiovascular and stroke risks.
BIG #microDENTAL: coverage for routine cleanings and exams.
BIG #microVISION: coverage for annual exams, and glasses.

Interested individuals and families can sign up for BIG’s health subscription plans through our company’s website, by phone, or visiting locations in their communities. The sign-up process is simple, and customer support is available to help choose the right coverage.
Sustainability Questions
BIG offers both health subscription and microinsurance plans with low premiums and tailored preventative health coverage options through Expatriate for Total Care (EAT) partnership model, in order to reduce unnecessary costs while maintaining essential benefits. For example, for some of our microPLANS, BIG caps benefits as low as JMD$30,000 per person/year while keeping monthly premiums low for both the expatriate and policy beneficiary, making preventative insurance accessible to a larger population.
BIG plans to keep operational costs low while scaling through our expatriate- and community-driven health subscription models. With a strong focus on reducing administrative costs, setting sustainable profit margins, and growing its customer pool, the company aims for long-term growth while maintaining affordable premiums.
