WHAT MAKES A MEDICAL AID AFFORDABLE?

The cheapest medical aid is not necessarily the best.

Spending less money per month on your medical cover may well end up costing you more during periods of sickness or hospitalisation!

Therefore, the wisest choice is to pick a medical aid plan that offers the right benefits and sufficient levels of hospitalisation cover - at an acceptable price!

It pays to have medical aid.

Medical aid contributions are partially tax deductible, effectively giving you the benefit of not having to spend large amounts of money on medical expenses and saving you some money.

The benefits of hospital plans

Hospital plans, such as our MEDXXI option are perfect for tight budgets. Although these don't make major provisions for day-to-day medical expenses, they usually feature sufficient hospital cover. Knowing that your medical aid covers major procedures and hospitalisation will give you great peace of mind - without breaking the bank. Speak to a one of our Selfmed's consultants should you require any cover beyond that offered by a hospital plan, as ignoring your own medical cover requirements is not wise.
