Medical aid is a vital factor if you are to enjoy a healthy life, so when requesting medical aid quotes and doing comparisons enquire about the following:
Medical aid quotes should be free and comprehensive. Most people prefer to have information up-front before contacting a broker or consultant. The reason is simple. You may forget to ask about important benefits, costs and terms & conditions when communicating telephonically. If you have the option upfront to compare the various benefits plans offered by the medical aid and have the online facility to calculate your monthly contributions, you already have an idea whether the medical scheme meets your requirements before sorting out finer details telephonically or via email.

Working through a broker
The ideal medical aid scheme will offer you the choice of working through a broker. A broker can assist you in choosing the most suitable benefits package for you. You can also contact us directly since we have experienced and knowledgeable consultants to clear up any uncertainties you may have.
Other considerations
Before you select a benefits plan consider your dependant’s current health and your family’s medical history. This will help you decide on benefits such as personal savings account for doctor visits, medicine and self-medication, chronic disease treatment and therapies. If one of your dependents, for instance, needs annual optometry services you will want to ensure that the package you choose allows for enough cover in this respect.
