Zestlife HealthMax

Through HealthMax, Zestlife will help you decide which medical aid plan will be the best fit for your budget. This is based on their deep understanding of the health insurance products offered by South Africa’s major medical schemes. They have been appointed to give advice on the policies offered by these providers.

HealthMax will provide you with a dedicated medical aid specialist to help you select the right plan and help you get the most out of it. But you won’t have to worry about paying for these services over and above your monthly contributions to the medical aid plan. Below are the services you can expect from HealthMax.

• Advice and assistance on what to do if there is a dispute on a claim.
• Assistance with follow-up on submitted claims.
• Advice how to maximise on your PMB and making claims for such conditions.

Guidance on Chronic Medication

Zestlife’s experts offer guidance on how to get medication for chronic conditions. They will advise you on how to claim for such from your medical aid.

Zestlife Gap Cover

Though they don’t offer medical aid policies, Zestlife does provide gap cover to meet expenses over and above what your medical aid plan covers.Gap cover comes in handy when you have undergone a planned medical procedure. Ordinarily this will be covered by your medical aid plan. However, there are times when the cost of procedures, ward expenses, or the cost of medication goes beyond the limit of your health insurance.

In such instances, you will be required to cover the shortfall from your savings, or provide a substantial co-payment. You can take up Zestlife’s gap cover to avoid going back into your pocket to cover those excess payments.
