Medical schemes make it possible to pay for high-quality healthcare such as hospitalisation, essential dentistry, medication, and visits to the doctor. In essence, belonging to one of the schemes thus makes it possible to have annual screenings, visit the optometrist, and generally receive medical attention when you need to, without having to break the bank. You make monthly contributions to ensure that you have access to the services and can afford high-quality healthcare when you need it.

In order to ensure that your healthcare costs are covered when you need the services, you should compare medical aids and benefit packages to determine:

• The affordability of the cover in relation to your income, the cover required, and your number of dependants;
• The claims pay-out history to ensure that the healthcare professionals are paid;
• The add-on services offered;
• The claims procedure to determine how easy or difficult it is to claim.

 It is also important to compare medical aids in order to avoid any delays in treatment as the result of non-payment by the medical aid. In addition, you need to compare medical aids to determine their solvency ratio and thus stability, considering that you make membership contributions and therefore expect a certain level of performance.
