Five Reasons Why You Need a Discovery Hospital Plan

Discovery Health has been recognised as one of the leading medical aid providers in South Africa. If that’s not enough to whet your whistle, here are some other reasons as to why you need a Discovery Hospital Plan.

Five Reasons as to Why You Need a Discovery Hospital Plan

The Best Value for Money

Discovery always endeavours to reduce the cost of healthcare so that you can get the very best possible deal.

When comparing the benefits received and the contributions paid to other medical aids, you will find that the Discovery contributions workout by up to about 14% less than those of our competitors.

So when making a comparison related to the premium that you are paying, do take care that you are comparing like with like. While some plans might have contributions that are lower, the cover is also a lot less comprehensive.

The Best Coverage

Are you tired of always having to pay a co-payment when you have to see a specialist or go to the hospital? Does your medical aid pay your full medical costs or are you stuck with extra bills because they only pay a portion of the costs?

With Discovery, you can rest assured that co-payments are a thing of the past. We have made special arrangements with a range of different pharmacy networks, medical professionals and hospitals.

As long as you visit these, and receive medication that corresponds to the preferred list of medicines, you don’t need to worry about co-payments.

We’ll even pay for the cost of preventative screening test such as cholesterol tests. Then you won’t need to dip into your Medical Savings Account.

Savings on a Range of Health Products

Together Vitality and Discovery have negotiated savings for you of as much as a quarter off for certain health care products that are on offer at Disc-Chem and Clicks.

You also enjoy the same substantial saving when it comes to the storage of stem cells and a range of services from Netcells Biosciences.

Save 20% when buying lenses and frames when using an optometrist contracted into the preferred provider network.

The Best Rewards Program for Being Healthy

Discovery acknowledges that some people do more than others to keep fit and healthy. Why should we reward them for that effort? Discovery partnered with Vitality and allows members to become part of the scheme.

When you work towards becoming healthier, you get great rewards. Members can save as much as 80% on their gym membership. They can also earn a 25% discount on HealthGear and HealthyFood items at certain shops.
