Medical aid is a registered medical scheme that pays providers directly and is regulated by the Council for Medical Schemes. Medical insurance is a short-term insurance product that pays cash benefits for specified events. Medical aid generally offers broader cover for chronic and in-hospital care.
Premiums vary widely based on the scheme, plan tier, your age and the number of dependants. Hospital plans typically start from a few hundred rand a month, while comprehensive plans can be several thousand. The quote you receive will give you an estimate based on your inputs.
