CAPE TOWN – Medical aid companies are not offering payment holidays during the current coronavirus health crisis.

Insurance company Outsurance has also come to the party, announcing a 15 percent reduction premiums, but medical aid suppliers, some of which charge up to R5 500 in monthly premiums per member, have not offered any payment breaks. Momentum Health said they are also awaiting guidance from the Council on whether they could assist clients but in the meantime are pushing resources towards government efforts in fighting the coronavirus.

“The service will not only allow citizens access to quality advice when they need it but it also prevents the sick and potentially affected South Africans from transmitting the virus in health facilities around the country.”
