Discovery Hospital Plans
Choose Discovery hospital plans or check out an alternative registered medical aid scheme to compare the values provided by other medical schemes. By the way, these schemes are always preferable to an insurance company.
In South Africa, the Medical Schemes Act makes sure that medical aids offer a wide range of benefits including hospital care, and a long list of Prescribed Minimum Benefits for over 300 conditions, including 27 chronic illnesses. Therefore Discovery hospital plans are more beneficial that a hospital cash back plan, for example.
Discovery has several Discovery hospital plans from which to choose. See which is most suitable for you.
Discovery Hospital Plans
Keycare Range
KeyCare Core gets you cover you can afford in Discovery’s network of hospitals.
