Prosano Medical Aid Offered Unique Benefits and Options
Prosano medical aid amalgamated with Bonitas medical aid in 2012. Prosano was founded in 1976 in the Western Cape and before the merger served more than 32,000 clients. The effect of the merger has grown Prosano into one of the biggest medical schemes in South Africa.
With a wide variety of products Prosano was able to offer affordable medical aid options both to public and private clients. The main philosophy of Prosano was to ensure effective relationships with their service providers, the effect of these relationships allowed the clients to receive the best medical care available in South Africa.
While still in existence Prosano offered 5 medical aid options: The Prosano ProElite that was considered the most comprehensive package the group offered. The Prosano ProClassic, another comprehensive plan with an additional savings account to cover some of the day to day expenses. The other plans include the Prosano ProVision, Prosano Procedure and Prosano ProVider, these three plans covered different options as their names so clearly states.
