What is the first thing you expect when dealing with any professional service provider, from your local grocery store all the way through to your bank? The answer is service. And not just any old service, you expect exceptional service, not so? In fact a very high standard of customer service has become a differentiating factor when members of the public choose their service providers.

Strict regulation of brokers puts medical aid members’ minds at ease
October 09, 2012   2 comments 2966 views
Why do we need brokers to help us choose a medical scheme or even a medical scheme option? Has it really become too complex a task to do ourselves?

One organ donor can save seven lives
September 25, 2012   0 comments 381 views
When Professor Chris Barnard transplanted a heart at Groote Schuur hospital in 1967, it changed the way the world viewed organ donation. Many lives have since been saved through organ transplantation – in fact, you can save as many as seven lives simply by telling your family that you wish to be an organ donor.

Private hospital admissions: how does it work?
September 25, 2012   0 comments 388 views
Working at a medical scheme a question I often hear is: should I register my hospital admission first or can I simply go to the hospital? In effect there are two types of hospital admissions: regular admissions and admissions in life-threatening emergencies. Normally, where a life-threatening emergency is not applicable, all admissions must be pre-registered. In Medihelp’s case we prefer to be notified of an admission at least 72 hours prior to being admitted. In case of a life-threatening emergency admission (the very nature of which prevents pre-registration) the admission must usually be registered on the first workday after the emergency.

Your health – one of the most important investments you’ll ever make
September 25, 2012   0 comments 313 views
Funny how little thought and research goes into the average person’s choice of a medical scheme compared to the time and effort he or she puts into making a purely financial or other investment? It’s time for people to realise that an investment in their health is just as important as any other investment in their portfolios.

Hospital cash back plan not an alternative for medical scheme cover
September 25, 2012   0 comments 278 views
Last night I was watching television when the now all too familiar ‘hospital cash back plan’ (HCP) advertisement came up. You know the one where some celebrity in a hospital bed proclaims the value of having one of these plans in an emergency situation. As the advertisement dragged on I realised that it did make sense from a certain point of view. It is a simple insurance policy that covers a set amount per day for your hospitalisation needs. In addition some plans offer cash-back incentives as well as no-claims bonuses. In a nutshell it seems to mean that your monthly premium is less than that of a typical hospital plan offered by a registered medical scheme and that you have the chance to get some of your hard-earned cash back in your pocket?

Financial results equate to more than just a balance sheet
September 25, 2012   0 comments 340 views
The onset of winter is usually also the time when medical schemes and other organisations release their financial results for the previous year. This year has been no exception with Medihelp releasing its own set of results recently. A quick look reveals an impressive performance: the Scheme ended the financial year with a net surplus of R163.9 million and a solvency ratio of 29.2%.
