Selfmed Medical Aid is Simple and Sincere

Selfmed Medical Aid began in 1965, and then registered formally on 19 November 1974. It is one of few medical aid schemes that joined the Ethics Institute of South Africa, a body that monitors and regulates ethics. Their goal is to provide medical cover in a simplistic and sincere manner.

Additional benefits offered to Selfmed medical aid members on all three plans are:

· Emergency transport is unlimited where ER24 services are used in South Africa, Lesotho, and Swaziland.

· CT scans and MRI scans are paid from major medical benefits.

· Medicine received when discharged from the hospital is paid by the medical aid.

· Pregnancy and birth benefits are generous.

· Procedures such as colonoscopies, gastroscopies, and laser tonsillectomies are paid when done in the hospital or out of the hospital. Co-payments could possibly apply.

· Rehabilitation and home nursing have unlimited benefits. Prior approval is required.
