List of Medical Aids Schemes in South Africa (Phone Directory)

The list of registered South African medical aids was sourced from the Councils of Medical Schemes website. Some of these medical aids may have discontinued business or changed their contact details. This list serves as a guide and Vitacare Health will not be held liable for any incorrect information. Always refer to the medical aid’s website or phone the call centre for more information. New medical aids may not be listed here.

A restricted medical aid means that only employees of a certain company or workers of a specific sector of industry can join the medical scheme. It is not open to the general public. Always refer to the contact numbers on your latest medical aid card for the most up to date details. Your medical aid may have different contact numbers for general enquiries, hospital authorisation and emergency services.

If you have a query about any specific medical aid, you should contact the medical aid scheme directly. If you are looking for a comparison of medical aid rates, speak to a medical aid broker who can provide you with all the information that you need.

For other queries about medical aids in general, to lodge a complaint against a medical aid or check if your medical aid broker is accredited, contact the Council for Medical Schemes.

    Hi Chrisna

    Not all medical aids will accept a pregnant member. Take a look at the list of medical aids in South Africa. Generally a restricted medical aid – like a medical aid that is reserved for only the employees of a company, professional association or sector of industry – will cover pre-existing pregnancy. These medical aids are not opened to the general public so the medical aid is a little more flexible with issues like pre-existing pregnancy but of course, even they have their restrictions.

    Open medical aids on the other hand are less flexible. These schemes are open to the general public so they can be very sticky about pre-existing pregnancy because some people join the medical aid, get cover for the birth/labour process and then leave the medical aid. So these medical aids now don’t allow pre-existing pregnancy. However, even these open medical aids will accept pregnant members under certain conditions like if the member had been on a medical aid within a 90 day prior to applying for membership and so on. Your best bet is to speak to your employer about the company medical aid, consult with an accredited broker or phone around to individual medical aids.

    Fortunately you are within your first trimester so if a medical aid is going to accept a pre-existing pregnancy, you will most likely qualify. Don’t wait, try to get cover immediately. Remember that each medical aid has their own policies so we cannot speak for individual schemes and plans.

    I need a medical aid or hospital plan which will cover birth/labour. Only 3 weeks into my pregnancy.
