What is the difference between the Genesis Private and Private Choice options?
- The Private option is R1500 per month per adult.
- On the Private Choice option, it is R1000 per month per adult.
- In addition, you pay an additional R365 per month for each child with the Private option.

Cash is tight for a lot of us these days. Having to pay for comprehensive medical cover is not something everyone can afford. What choice do you have? Do you skip having a medical aid in the hopes that you will never need it or do you battle to make the payments every month and, consequently, lose out because of missed payments?
That’s not realistic, what happens if you are in an accident? You would have to use a state hospital and we all know how overworked the staff there are.
