Essential, Basic and Core Saver Plans

You only have cover for approved Prescribed Minimum Benefit cancer treatment. We do need your treatment Plan, to approve your cover.

Traditional, Comprehensive and Plus Plans

You have unlimited cover; this means that we do not stop paying for approved treatments. You will need to send us your treatment Plan, to approve your cover before your Healthcare Professional commences treatment.

Treatment covered

The Scheme provides cover for treatment methods and medications that are approved and registered.
Cover excludes cancer treatment and related services that lack approval. Unapproved or unregistered medications and treatments, as determined by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA), are not covered by the Scheme. This includes treatments that haven't undergone sufficient testing and includes herbal or traditional remedies.
In unique circumstances where members may require such treatments, the Scheme allows for requests through an exception management process.
