Need A Different Medical Scheme?

Are you not completely satisfied with your current medical scheme? There are a few things that you may need to consider when deciding whether or not to join a different scheme. Ask yourself the following questions:

  1. What is the quality of care I am currently receiving?
  2. What benefits am I receiving from my current scheme?
  3. How much am I paying for the services I am receiving?

Choose a medical aid scheme that suits your needs

Many people make the mistake of choosing a scheme based on extra offers concentrating on services that are by no means related to medical care and benefits. Some people, for example, change their scheme to receive travel discount. Rather opt for a scheme that suits your personal budget and offers benefits that are designed to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle.

You can only belong to one scheme

By South African law, you may not belong to more than one medical scheme at the same time. Make sure that you choose the right scheme and plan for you and your family at a price you can afford. A new scheme may include special benefits (depending on the plan you choose) and a list of preferred hospitals and doctors that your current scheme does not offer. Make sure you consider your options carefully before changing.
