Medical Aid

Understanding Your Medical Aid

Benefits in South Africa

Please find out if your doctor is on your medical plan.

• Most plans allow two general practitioner visits per year for preventative health checks.

• These are usually funded from a separate & preventative care& benefit, not from your day-to-day savings.

• Check-ups may include blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, BMI, and other basic health assessments.

• Missing these check-ups may result in reduced benefits or penalties from your Medical Aid.
