Medihelp

For more than 117 years, Medihelp has been serving its customers by providing reliable and outstanding medical aid solutions. They pride themselves on offering you up-to-date products and services to meet all your medical needs.

A financially secure medical aid option

Choosing a medical aid that’s financially stable and that can assure its members that their needs are met, is an important aspect to consider.

Their business model enables them to provide you with top-class services at affordable rates.

Furthermore, their strategies on risk management enable them to offer you a contribution reduction should you find yourself in financial difficulty. This is just one of the many ways that Medihelp has to accommodate its members.

What is a self-administered medical scheme?

Medihelp is a self-administered medical aid scheme. This means that the entire scheme is owned by the members.

The members take care of all the administrative responsibilities. These include pre-authorisation, the processing and reimbursement of claims, and conveying with internal members.

Medihelp is essentially a fund for you, by you. You can rest assured that your needs are taken care of by people who have an equal interest in the scheme.

Medihelp plans ahead

As you go through life your healthcare needs change. A young and healthy student may need minimal medical assistance whereas a senior’s healthcare needs may consist of chronic medication or more frequent medical assistance.

Whatever your life stage is, Medihelp has a plan that suits your individual needs. With the many plans they offer, you’re able to change from one plan to another according to the change in your medical needs.
