What Makes Them Unique?

One of the most frustrating things aboutchoosing a specific medical plan is that there are so many service providers, each offering a host of different plans. Many people cannot decide whether they need a hospital plan, a comprehensive plan or even just a savings plan. Each plan offer different benefits and in many cases the small print is confusing and unclear. That is why Sizwe medical aid has limited their options to three main areas:

1.   The Traditional Programme. This programme includes three plans: Affordable, Primary and Full Budget. The plans in this programme are straight forward and are described in easy-to-understand language. That does not mean that the plans are sub-standard, however! Please take the trouble to download the concise document that describes the costs, benefits and terms of this programme.

·                The Dental Management Plan allows members to receive the best possible dental care.

·               The Hospital Management Programmemakes provision for hospital cost and the expenses that are incurred while being treated in hospital.

·               The Member Profiling Programme help to protect members and to keep costs down by identifying incorrect or even unwarranted claims from members that should not have claimed or that should have submitted different claims.

·               The Provider Management Programme makes sure that service providers do not abuse the medical aids. By managing these risks members benefit because it helps the Sizwe medical aid to keep costs down and to offer more benefits to its members.

3.   Value Added Programmes. There are three distinct programmes aimed at very specific target groups:

·               Cover for patients that are HIV positive or that have already developed AIDS.
