Has anyone reviewed these lately? I need to change my mum's to just a hospital plan cos Oxygen is full of BS, changing schemes etc. I think I am paying like R1500 per month. I need to get it down to like R600 pm.

I told medishield to go F themselves today. Didnt help me at all. Basterds@!#$ So getting to your point.
Dude, all of them are crooked and corrupt. They should be called only medical schemes because they insult the word 'aid'.

Nice!
I'm on Self Med, R2800pm for myself, the wife and 2 kiddies. Just a hospital plan, no day to day stuff. Personally I think 2800 is way to much, would like some opinions too. Their service is ok, never had any problems with that but R2800pm...

if you are just after a hospital plan, i would suggest discovery or maybe fedhealth...their in-hospital seems pretty good, if you with something more comprehensive, you might want other examples

If you or your spouse work for Mediclinic, you're in luck. They have a fantastic scheme for employees that blows Discovery out of the water.

i also read something like that...and then they want to introduce a 3-5% tax on our salaries that will go to this nhi
Medical Schemes are not created equal - it is surprising with how much some of these funds gets away with, I suggest visiting the site http://www.msit.org.za/index.php?pageid=10 and compare plans side by side. I personally would stay miles away from Discovery.

I am on a Profmed medical aid thing but it isn't quite a hospital plan that pays out a fixed amount in the event of hospitalisation. It is more like a medical aid without all the medication and outpatients benefits. I haven't had an accident yet so I can't account for how well they do on claims and I don't really buy any medication or visit doctors or anything... they're great at taking my money every month though if that helps

Have a look at the Discovery KeyCare Plus option (hospital plan with some day 2 day benefits like unlimited GP visits etc) or the Fedhealth Maxima Core (hospital plan). The KeyCare plan is very affordable and sounds ideal for your requirements.
