The Momentum scheme is unique in the sense that it also offers members incentives to lead healthier lives and that they reward their members with cash paybacks when they do not submit claims for a specified period.

What hospital plans are offered?

Momentum medical scheme offers three distinct hospital plans. These plans are designed to suit the specific needs and budget of well-defined target groups. The company believes that everybody can afford some measure of hospital cover. Here are some details regarding each of the plans:

1.    The Ingwe Plan. This is a basic and straightforward hospital plan that is meant for those who cannot afford comprehensive cover or that are young, healthy and fit but that nevertheless need to be covered in case of accidents or emergencies. The plan requires members to make use of service providers that are part of the Ingwe network. If members choose to see a service provider that is not part of the network, they may be liable for the cost of treatment. The plan covers nineteen specialized procedures, although there is a limit of nine hundred and fifty rand per family per year. The plan also includes treatment and medication for certain chronic conditions.

2.    The Access Plan. This plan also offers members full cover for hospitalization, but members must use the hospitals that are part of the Access network. There is no annual limit with this plan, and members are covered for the management of chronic diseases. Members must obtain prior approval from the scheme before being hospitalized, except in cases of emergency. The plan furthermore allows members access to health education programs, round-the-clock medical advice, and it offers full maternity benefits.

3.     The Custom Plan. This plan offers unlimited hospitalization benefits at affordable premiums. Members can choose the hospital of their choice, but they receive a discount if they opt for a hospital that is part of the Momentum network. The same principle is valid for consultations with medical practitioners and the purchase of medicines at pharmacies: using the approved network of service providers results in a discount.
