Who is Medihelp?

We have the benefit of experience

Industry experience is invaluable in providing top-notch products and services to our members and Medihelp has over 100 years’ experience in the medical schemes industry to draw upon.

Our size is our strength

We’re proud to take responsibility for managing the healthcare needs of over 200 000 lives. One of the largest medical schemes in the country, we service our large membership base from our head office in Pretoria and regional offices in Cape Town, Durban, Bloemfontein and Port Elizabeth.

We’re financially stable

When you become a member of a medical scheme, you invest your money in that scheme – the last thing you want is to invest your hard-earned cash in a medical scheme which cannot provide adequate provision for the payment of claims. With consistent, sound financial performance, Medihelp proves itself time and again. Our financial soundness is marked by our solvency, our claims-paying ability and our resolve to provide value-for-money by keeping administrative costs as low as we can.

Solvency

Our solvency rate is well above the required 25% prescribed by the Council for Medical Schemes. In addition, our Accumulated Funds per Beneficiary is one of the highest of the top open medical schemes in South Africa.

Administration Costs

Wouldn’t you like to be part of a medical scheme where the money you invest goes to healthcare, rather than non-related costs? At Medihelp, we endevour to keep admin costs as low as possible, so that you get more healthcare cover for every rand you contribute. In fact, our administrative cost as a percentage of gross contribution is consistently below the industry average.

Our claims payment

Due to our consistent, excellent financial performance, the independent ratings company Global Credit Rating has awarded Medihelp’s claims-paying ability with an AA-rating – one of the highest ratings in the industry

Product offering and performance

To retain our membership base, we realise that we need to maintain consistency in our product offering. We do this by managing costs effectively and ensuring long-term sustainability of our medical aid benefit options through risk management initiatives.
