10 Reasons why Fedhealth Savings are so Superior.
Home: bestmedicalaid.co.za
Medical aids offer 2 ways for you to fund your out of hospital expenses like doctors' visits, eye care, dentistry, and prescribed medication.
You have either set benefits and limits OR a savings fund.
1. Traditional Set benefits.
You have pre-defined amounts for different treatments, which are not interchangeable.
Benefits do not roll over to the next year - these are a "use it, or lose it" type benefit.
2. Savings fund.
You are allocated a set amount of funds from which you pay costs.
You can spend the funds as you wish.
Any balances roll over to the following year.
Here is the problem ...
1/12 of the savings fund is automatically added to your premium as a repayment of that amount over a year - whether you spend the savings or not!
This is really like a forced loan.
Fedhealth don't do this, enabling you to control how you use your savings. And that puts Fedhealth in a league of their own!
How the savings work ...
With both options, once the benefits or funds are spent and depending upon your plan, you may have access to a safety net (Threshold Benefit) where ,once expenses add up to a pre-determined amount, the scheme pay certain further costs for that year.
The 10 reasons why Fedhealth savings are so superior.
- You choose if you want savings with your plan or if you prefer to have a hospital only plan and self-fund day-to-day costs.
If you don't spend savings - your premium remains that of a hospital only plan! - You have significantly higher amounts of savings than the average medical aid savings account.
- Unlike traditional medical aid,funds not spent roll over to the next year, so you never lose them!
- You can use savings to pay for any PMB (Prescribed Minimum Benefit) treatment shortfalls.
Fedhealth is the only scheme to allow for this! - There are no benefit sub-limits. You can use all your funds to pay for one expensive treatment, should you wish.
- There is an income tax benefit allowed on your savings. No other savings plan allows this!
- You can spend your savings on any healthcare-related cost. Other schemes have restrictions and/or set benefits and sub limits on savings.
- You can top-up your savings at any time.
No other scheme allows for this! - You can use savings to fund medical coats that are not normally covered by medical aid, like in-hospital procedure co-payments. Traditional plans do not allow for this.
- You only pay for what you spend.
No other medical aid savings plan offer this!
That's not all because Fedhealth pay more from the plan than any other scheme!
The scheme pays for treatments like trauma casualty, 7 days of take-home medicine, 30-days post hospital, specialised radiography (MRI/CT scans), female contraceptives and you can upgrade to a higher option with more comprehensive benefits anytime of the year.
They offer a safety net should you spend your savings you have access to unlimited listed GP visits and basic dentistry, paid by the scheme.
There are child rates for financially dependent children up to age 27, and you only pay for three children.
