Medical aid
The focus of a medical aid scheme is to provide members with cover for expenses associated with necessary medical treatment. Often members are obliged to use healthcare specialists who belong to a provider’s network and conditions stipulate which treatments are covered. Taking scheme tariffs into account, the amount you’re paid out will depend on what medical attention you need.
It is important to have medical aid cover as a safety net. If you unexpectedly get sick or injured, medical aid is there to help cover costs that you likely cannot afford to pay on your own.

Health insurance
