Discovery Health
Discovery Health is probably the best known medical aid scheme in South Africa. Many swear by it, others don’t. But it IS worth investigating what Discovery has to offer, especially in the area of Discovery hospital plans.
Remember that Discovery Health medical aid is a fully fledged medical scheme registered with the Council for Medical Schemes. As such, Discovery medical aid has to abide by the regulations laid down in law and monitored by the council. It must supply a long list of Prescribed Minimum Benefits to its members, according to the law. 
This is why it is better to get a hospital plan from Discovery Health or another registered medical scheme than from an insurance company. Insurance companies are not governed by the strict rules that medical aids are.
The professed main aim of Discovery Health plans is to make people healthier and thus to to enhance and protect their lives. They do this by focusing on the health and wellness of their members and by providing a range of products to suit a variety of needs.
Discovery Health offers a wide range of benefits which are an additional part of most of their products. On top of Discovery Health, there is also Discovery Life Cover and Discovery Vitality to complement your needs.
