One of South Africa’s top rated medical aid schemes, Fedhealth, subscribes to a value added approach to health care cover.

In an effort to carve a sustainable niche in the competitive medical aid sector in South Africa, and to halt the premature depletion of day to day benefits generated from members’ savings accounts, Fedhealth has come up with a range of exclusive benefits targeting costly out of hospital procedures.

The fifth largest medical aid provider in the country is renowned for its out-of-the-box marketing methodologies, low cost products and sweeping benefits tailored for different income groups. 

Its decision to surpass the norm is best represented by its unique benefits that include:

• MRI and CT scans and other specialised radiology and imaging procedures are paid from risk and not savings, whether conducted in or out of hospital. A quick comparison reveals that many other medical aids set co-payments that are often higher than the actual cost of the procedure itself. This means the medical aid does not contribute at all!

• Unlimited private hospitalisation at the hospital of choice is one of the main reasons why Fedhealth has increased its membership base to more than 72 000 people. This is a markedly more attractive option to competing medical aids that cover only a percentage of the hospital costs, or prescribe a certain limit. Thereafter punitive co-payments are likely to kick in, or the beneficiary may find he is she is not covered at all once the limit has been reached.

• Vital follow-up treatments and procedures post hospitalisation such as x-rays, blood tests and physiotherapy are paid from risk and not savings for up to 30 days after discharge. Unlike other medical aids, day to day benefits are not plundered for essential medical services.

• Treatment received in a casualty ward post trauma is covered by the in-hospital benefit.

Coupled with these rare beneficiary orientated benefits are a range of attractive incentives designed to lure growing numbers of South Africans to the Fedhealth stable.

Families, in particular, stand to gain from child rates for single students up to the age of 27 years and full cover for in-hospital dentistry for children under the age of 8 years!

To guarantee adequate cover, medical aid customers are encouraged to shop around for the best medical aid available for individual requirements. Instant medical aid comparison tools are available online to expedite an often complex and tedious process.
