Advantages of Resolution Medical Aid

Different product options

Resolution Health Medical Aid has 5 product options available for its customers. These are: The Hospital Plan, the Foundation Plan, the Progressive Flex Plan, the Progressive Saver Plan, and the Prestige Plan.

The Hospital Plan, like other basic hospital plans is good for people who do not get sick often and would rather manage their own day to day expenses. However, they would want assurance of medical services in case of hospitalization.

These services cover many of the expenses  relating to a hospital stay including theatre expenses, labour ward expenses, surgical operations, ICU costs, X rays, scans etc. Other benefits include trauma benefit and unlimited oncology benefits.

In the Foundation Plan, contributions to the scheme are income based with the costs ranging from R492 to R1124. Members get full hospital cover in this scheme plus other benefits. The members get unlimited GP access, basic dentist and optometry, and the services of specialist network providers. The plan covers 25 chronic diseases.

The Progressive Flex Plan is a more advanced plan that includes day to day expense benefits and hospitalization costs.   This plan includes the flexi benefit if one has a beneficiary. Its monthly premiums range from R1224 with a child dependant costing R362.

The Progressive Saver Plan also covers the day to day expenses and the in-hospital expenses. The coverage of the day to day expenses is however dependant on one’s savings. An advantage of this is that it carries over unused money for use in later years.
