Capitated Plans, by price

Below is a list of this scheme's capitated medical aid plans. With these plans, the less you make the less you pay for your medical aid. The benefits stay the same for all the income levels, only the price changes. We list all the capitated plans and explain them in more detail here.

What does a “PMBs only” restriction mean?
In this case, the scheme will only pay for diagnosis, treatment and management of a claim for one of 270 pre-defined conditions (PMBs). Read more, and see full list of PMB conditions. 

What does “From Risk” mean?
The scheme will pay for this claim from its own funds, not from your savings or other day-to-day benefits. 

What is a DSP?
A Designated Service Provider. The scheme has a network of providers, and will often only pay claims in full if you use a DSP. If you choose another provider, you might have a co-payment, or even no cover.
