Regular Plans, by price
Plans are listed by increasing price. For income-based (capitated) plans, if any, see below.Looking for another scheme? We have all the plans for all the open medical aid schemes. You can find them here.
Some notes:
- When you click on the plan name, you will see the detailed costs, as well as all the benefits that plan offers.
- Price is not a good indicator of value. Different schemes pay for different things, and a more expensive plan can actually end up saving you money in the long run. Nevertheless, if you prefer, you can search for a medical aid by price.
