Why You Should Join Fedhealth Medical Aid.
Fedhealth Medical Aid is truly an exceptional medical aid because they really do offer the best, affordable, unique, value-added benefits medical scheme in South Africa! Their healthcare plans will meet all your needs!
This is the only medical aid that allows you to control your premium, while keeping the best benefits available!
The finest, unlimited hospital cover (at any hospital) with the option of a day-to-day savings account that you pay for -ONLY WHEN YOU USE IT!
Most medical aids have 2 parts – in hospital (paid by the plan) and out of hospital costs (paid by you through a savings account in the plan)
Medical aids then advance you a year’s worth of savings when you start with them.
They then add a monthly re-payment amount, of that advanced fund, to your premium.
This happens whether you use the savings or not!
But, Fedhealth DON’T DO THIS!
You are not restricted to a one-size-fits-all medical aid.
No ways … because you can personalise your cover to suit your needs!
You have a choice when you start paying for your day-to-day medical benefits!
Yes, you only start repaying the amount that you have spent, interest free, when you start using your savings fund!
So, delay using your day-to-day savings or never use it at all, (but have the confidence money is available when you need it) and your premium will always be at the lowest rate!
This is the same as having the best hospital only benefit plan, (which is already a cheaper option), but with a safety net of easily accessible money for out of hospital costs, should you need it.
If you do not use your savings, you do not pay for it! This is surely the best way to control your medical aid cost.
There is also a safety net whereby, if you spend a pre-defined amount of your savings, further claims for certain treatments are paid by the scheme and not from your savings!Yes, Fedhealth will pay for:
- unlimited GP visits at nominated network GPs!
- preventative dentistry benefits at contracted dentists including x-rays, scaling and polishing!
Consider this ... A single member in 2020, with the leading medical aid can get a comprehensive plan for R 3,290 pm.
It has a R 9,864 savings account for out of hospital costs.
BUT, Fedhealth has a plan for R 2,275 pm and has savings of R 9,600 for out of hospital costs!
That’s over R 12,000 per year cheaper!
With very similar benefits!
Yes, if you spend savings you will increase the next premium, as you then have to start to pay back the savings you have used
But with your good management, just look at what you can save!
But, that's not all!
There are further discounted premiums on offer as well!
If you are prepared to use listed hospitals (except in an emergency when you can use any facility), you can get an 11% discounted premium!
If you are prepared to have a co-payment of R 12,000 when being admitted to hospital (except in an emergency) you can get an 25% discounted premium!
With careful management and Fedhealth, you have a huge opportunity to reduce your medical aid costs over a year! Fedhealth Medical Aid is the ONLY scheme where, if you do not use your day-to-day savings, your premium is reduced!
No doubt about it, this is a truly exceptional value-for-money medical aid!

Fedhealth Medical Aid the ONLY scheme where, if you do not use your day-to-day savings, your premium is reduced!!
Maybe it is time YOU join the Medical Aid Revolution with Fedhealth?
3 Simple Steps to Create a Your Personal Medical Aid!
1. You select a Core benefit to meet your family size. These Core benefit bundles all include: hospitalisation, chronic illness, extended benefits if savings used and prevention and screening benefits paid by Fedhealth, not from your day-to-day savings!
A young single member has different needs to a retired couple, so there are 4 different benefit options to consider. – See the Brochure.
The basic cover includes in-hospital, chronic, screening and day-to-day savings.
2. You may select a Grid Option - and can save up to 11% of your monthly contribution by committing to only use Fedhealth’s network of more than 100 world-class private hospitals.
You can use any hospital in an emergency.
These network hospitals are only for planned hospitalisation.
3. Elect Option - if you agree to an R 11 500 excess for all hospital admissions (except for emergencies), you can get up to a 25% premium discount!
All plans offer large savings for day-to-day costs.
Based on your unique profile and the core benefit bundle you choose, a pre-approved amount is automatically placed in your individual savings fund (MediVault) at the beginning of the year. You then transfer amounts from this MediValult to your Wallet, as and when you need them.
Only when you start spending these funds do you start paying back the amount you used - over 12-months, interest free.
If you do not use the savings, you don’t pay for them!
The funds remain on offer and you pay a lower premium!
Unlike most medical aid savings funds, the amount is not pro-rated - even if you only join in August you’ll have the same amount available as you would have had in January!
What if you use all your savings?
As you spend from your savings, you submit those claims.
Fedhealth add them up and when they accumulate to a pre-defined threshold amount, certain benefits, like unlimited network GP visits and dentistry - paid by the scheme - then become available!
If you want only in-hospital benefits, then never use the savings!
You then have a hospital plan, but with the safety of having funds for high out of hospital costs - should you ever need them!
Now you really do have the full flexibility to control your own premiums by personalising your option and creating a package of benefits you need - at a price you can afford!
