A quick guide to Medical Aid Cover
Medical aid for students
Medical Aid for students offers financial cover for health-related expenses at an affordable price for those who have become too old to stay on their parent’s policy but are not yet permanently employed and are still studying at a tertiary institution.
Medical aid for pregnant women
Medical schemes offer comprehensive or hospital plan cover to expecting moms to provide for their medical needs. If you have comprehensive cover, your essential antenatal consultations as well as in-hospital childbirth are covered.
