Welcome to the South African Medical Scheme Information Tool

This website provides you with information about medical schemes and medical scheme options that are available in South Africa. With 24 schemes and 138 options (and we are adding more daily), all the resources to help you learn about your or any other medical scheme are now available in one place.

No life-changing decisions should be made based purely on information offered on this site. Please consult a suitably qualified professional person to advise and assist you.

The information on this site will help you make informed decisions about the healthcare cover options that you can choose from that will best suit your and your dependants particular healthcare needs. Aspects to consider, include:

• Premiums or monthly contributions, whether for a single person or for families/dependants.
• Benefits that you may want to consider, such as hospital cover, medicine cover, chronic disease cover, day-to-day cover, cover for conditions such as cancer, etc.
• Special arrangements between schemes and groups of doctors, pharmacies and/or hospitals that might influence the suitability or practical implications of a scheme to meet your needs.
• The level of payment for services or products, such as medicine, dental or eye care, and or co-payments or deductibles that may affect your ability to manage your unique financial situation.
