People look at their medical aid plans and realise they can no longer afford them. We are forced to look at programs which are cheaper than medical aid cover. Why not consider Discovery Essential Hospital Cover.
Discovery Essential Hospital Cover
Discovery offers many different hospital plans which are vital to people who can’t afford a full medical aid plan.
- Their Saver Series, for instance, provides extensive in-hospital cover as well as a savings account for day-to-day benefits. You have no overall hospital limit on approved hospital admissions. Discovery will cover you in full if you see a specialist who participates in Discovery’s Premier Rate or Classic Direct arrangements.
- Their Smart Plans are mainly hospital programs with the Essential plan. Offering cover for GP consults, preventative care benefits, dental check-up and eye tests. The Smart plan also provides sports related injuries cover as well as cover for acute meds. All treatment is subject to provider networks and co-payments.
