10 Annual Review Tips

Remember, you get what you pay for
Medical schemes operate on the principle that the contributions received from members should cover any claims paid out. The way to control this is to limit the benefits based on what you can afford to pay.

Don’t make hasty decisions based on immaterial value adds
While medical scheme loyalty programmes have become a big attraction for some (with cheaper movie tickets and gym memberships), be careful not to make these the sole driver when deciding on a medical scheme.

Start by understanding the cover you already have and how it may change for 2019
It’s no secret that the average consumer in South Africa is feeling the pinch of a tough economy and may be looking for ways to reduce monthly living expenses.
