What is health insurance?
Health insurance (like what GetSavvi Health offers) is where individuals pay premiums in exchange for medical cover. It manages the costs of healthcare by paying or reimbursing a portion of the medical fees so that members aren’t left with huge bills to pay.
How much does it cost?
Our prices vary, depending on what option you’re interested in, and whether you need cover for yourself or your family as well. We advise that you speak with a GetSavvi Health consultant so that we can explain our benefits and options in detail.
What benefits does GetSavvi Health offer?
Our benefits vary, with day-to-day medical cover such as GP visits, medication, dentistry, optometry and pharmacy consultations. We also offer emergency, accident and maternity cover, a member wellness programme aimed at holistic health, funeral cover for your and your family’s peace of mind, and way more.
Is GetSavvi Health a medical aid?
No. We offer health insurance with specific focus on day-to-day cover like doctors’ visits, medication and preventative benefits, as well as funeral cover and more.
What's the difference between health insurance and medical aid?
The price and what is covered. Health insurance (like what GetSavvi Health offers) provides day-to-day medical cover, consisting of routine doctors’ visits, dental care and preventative benefits, an approach that addresses overall well-being. In contrast, medical aid concentrates on specific treatments such as specialised care, in-hospital procedures, and cover of Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMBs).
Health insurers frequently offer additional services unrelated to healthcare, such as funeral cover and counselling, providing a more holistic approach to a member’s health.
Can I get health insurance alongside my medical aid?
Yes. Health insurance is an excellent option for individuals who have medical aid but may not be entirely satisfied with their day-to-day medical benefits (GP visits, dentistry and acute medication, etc.).
