OnePlan is NOT a medical aid

One Plan is a popular form of health cover in South Africa. But South Africans should know that OnePlan is not a medical aid but instead a form of short-term health insurance.

Here is how OnePlan health insurance differs from medical scheme membership:

  1. The amount that OnePlan will pay out in the event of a successful claim. will not relate to the amounts that appear on your medical and hospital bills. Instead that relates to the number of days you have spent in hospital, for example. Or how many doctor and specialist visits you have had.
  2. Short-term insurance companies such as OnePlan offer health insurance. Medical schemes may not offer these.
  3. One Plan Medical AidHealth insurance, which One Plan is, does not offer Prescribed Minimum Benefits as medical schemes do in accordance with the law.
  4. Health insurance companies do not negotiate with healthcare providers. As expressed above, health insurance payouts relate to to the precise details as outlined in your OnePlan option. See more here about OnePlan options here.
  5. Health insurance is much cheaper than any medical aid plan precisely because payouts are closely described. There will be no surprises regarding your OnePlan claims and payouts.
  6. A health cover policy such as OnePlan is perfect for healthy people, particularly healthy young people. At the very least make sure you have health insurance – especially if you have not medical aid membership.
