Is One Plan Insurance Medical Aid or What?

What is One Plan Insurance?

  • Medical insurance not a medical aid.
  • Affordable premiums for essential healthcare.
  • A company with an innovative claim’s management system.
  • The option to choose different levels of cover.
  • Cover for day-to-day expenses and hospitalisation.

 

One Plan is a company that offers a range of affordable and innovative products covering healthcare insurance. Their plans starting at R330 per month. They offer a range of different cover options. So this company has taken its mandate of providing affordable healthcare seriously.

The company has taken a different approach in this field. Most health insurance companies provide cover only within their network of healthcare practitioners. However, One Plan instead pays out a set amount per insurable incident.

One PlanThe company loads funds onto your card, and you are left to choose where to get medical care. Of course, the cover is subject to annual limits, and One Plan may limit the number of visits you are allowed per annum.
