MEDICAL AID QUESTIONS

How does a medical aid scheme work?

Medical schemes are legal bodies registered in terms of the Medical Schemes Act for the purpose of defraying medical expenses of its members. As such, its sole purpose is to pay claims, not to make profits.

In terms of the legislation medical schemes have to be financially sustainable and hold reserves in order to meet unexpectedly high claims, but all of those profits remain in the scheme as the property of the members. No dividends are paid to shareholders. Medical schemes are run by a board of trustees, at least half of which have to be elected by the scheme’s members. This board is responsible for managing the scheme in the interests of all its members.
Why should you consider having a medical aid plan?

If you don’t want to rely on South Africa’s public health system, getting medical treatment from a private provider can be hugely expensive. Receiving care in a private hospital if you’re ill or in an accident can end up costing thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Rands.

Medical aid protects you from having to pay large unexpected sums of money out of your own pocket should you need medical help. It also means you can get treatment quickly, without needing to wait until you have the money available.
What does medical aid hospital plans cover?

Hospital plans mainly cover the treatment costs if you’re admitted to hospital such as ward costs, theatre fees, and accounts from other in-hospital providers such as anaesthetists or radiologists. Hospital plans also typically cover emergency medical expenses, whether you are admitted to hospital or not. To qualify as an emergency, the condition or event must be unexpected and need immediate treatment, for example treatment in the casualty ward of a hospital, trauma counselling or emergency medical services.
How would you go about to submit a claim to your medical aid?

Submitting a claim to medical aid is easy, as long as you have all your paperwork in order. In general, you’ll need to collate all itemised bills and invoices that relate to the health procedure you’re claiming for. This could mean invoices from hospitals, anaesthetists, general practitioners, specialists, or invoices for medication you’ve bought from a pharmacy.

Every medical aid has a different claims procedure, but generally you’ll need to submit your personal details, your medical aid number, and then the relevant documentation as outlined above. You can normally do this via email, fax or post.
