About
Medical Aid
South Africa has about 105 medical schemes totalling around
8 million
beneficiaries. The total annual contribution to
medical schemes is around R85-billion (according to the
Council for Medical Schemes - 2009). Take into account
that South Africa have a population of more than 49 million
people! Less than 17% of SA citizens belong to a
medical scheme.
 Not
all medical schemes are open to the public. In fact,
of the 105 medical schemes, only about 33 are open to the
public. This number might decrease over the years as
the larger schemes take over the smaller ones.
So how do you
choose a medical scheme or hospital plan, a specific option
of the scheme, which benefits to include or exclude?
In this ever-changing environment, you need the services and
advice of an independent intermediary. Someone who
