Your 2 greatest areas of high medical expenses are private hospitalisation and dentistry.
Only a medical aid will effectively shield you against these financial threats.
However, not all medical aids are created equal.
The one-size-fits-all approach of other medical aids leads to unused money sitting in a savings account.
Money which is repaid through an amount added to your premium.
Medical aids add a portion of the savings fund repayment to your monthly premium, whether you spend savings or not. Why pay for benefits you seldom use?
Fedhealth do not do this!
They allow you to create a plan that meets your unique health requirements.
If you have the ability to self pay your out of hospital costs, you can join a hospital only plan at a much lower premium.
However, what if you are concerned about unexpected, high out of hospital expense happening in the future?
Lowering Your Premiums
Fedhealth allow you to join a hospital only plan (at a lower premium), and then add an optional day-to-day savings fund - that you repay only when you spend from it.
When you do not need to pay day-to-day costs, your premium remains that of a lower cost hospital plan, but with the safety net of a day-to-day savings fund. It is a game-changer in that you can now control your medical aid cost!
Day-to-Day Savings
Most medical aids have a day-to-day savings fund, but they demand a monthly repayment of that fund - whether you spend from it or not.
This means you're paying for savings you're not spending.
Is your hard-earned money tied up in a medical aid plan, where you have limited control over how it's used?
Hospital cover is the foundation of any medical aid option.
It is your protection against the big expenses that can financially hurt you.
There are 5 core hospital plans to choose from, providing you with in-hospital, chronic illness, screening and other benefits.
All core benefit bundles come pre-packed with value-added benefits paid from Risk (the scheme), not from savings. You can chooses to join any of the plans.
2. An additional discount.
All plans cover hospitalisation at any hospital (except SAVVY and flexiFED 1 which use listed hospitals).
GRID plans offer full cover using listed hospitals. Use any hospital in an emergency.
There is an 10% premium discount for joining this option.
ELECT plans offer full cover at any private hospital with a R 14,700 fixed excess for planned procedures.
No excess for emergencies.
There is a 25% discount when joining this option!
TIP: Consider joining a GRID or ELECT plan as well as a Top-up/GAP plan.
It is very possible that the premium discount saving, will fund the Top Up!
You will save premiums over the standard plan and have the excess, possible fee shortfalls and procedure co-payments paid by the top up!
It is unlikely you will find a better deal anywhere else!
3. How you want to use your day-to-day savings.
Hospital plan.
You may only want an in-hospital plan, and to self pay you day-to-day benefits. This plan is ideal because - even though you join an in-hospital only plan you get:
Single member Premiums start from
R 965 pm. with R 6,000 in savings.
It’s so much more than your average hospital plan!
flexiFED FIXED - Comprehensive medical aid.
This is medical aid as you’ve known it for years with traditional, upfront day-to-day savings allocated to you at the beginning of the year.
Single member Premiums start from R 1,365 pm. with R 4,800 in savings.
flexiFED FLEXIBLE - Hospital plan and pay-as-you-go day-to-day savings.
The Fedhealth game changer . . . a hospital plan, with the option of day-to-day savings in case you need them.
Medical aid savings funds are like a compulsory loan. Many plans require you to contribute to a day-to-day savings fund from day one, regardless of whether you use them or not. This fund is automatically factored into your premium, essentially making it a non-negotiable expense.
Fedhealth is a refreshing alternative. Unlike other providers, Fedhealth doesn't impose a compulsory savings repayment . Instead, you only repay what you've actually spent from your savings. With no interest, and it's spread over a 12-months.
Single member Premiums start from R 965 pm. with R 6,000 in savings.
Choose Fedhealth – where your savings work for you, not the other way around!
How the savings work ...
The amount of savings in the FLEXIBLE option is greater than that in the FIXED option.
This is especially important for those who run out of the “traditional” savings during the year, as you can switch to the Flexible plan (with its higher savings allocation) at anytime!
No other medical aid offers this ability to "extend" the buying power of your savings!
With Fedhealth, join a lower option - safe in the knowledge that should you suffer a life-changing event, you can immediately upgrade to a plan that will help you when you need it.
Buy the cover you need now, not on a “what if in the future” basis like with other schemes!
No other medical aid offers that benefit!
