Does Bonitas offer emergency medical assistance?
The purpose of a medical aid is to make sure that you are able to pay for treatment received from either a private GP, specialist or hospital. It is very important to have health cover to insure you can get the care you need when you need it. You and your family's health are unpredictable and accidents can happen.
To qualify as a dependant, a person needs to be the member's spouse, child or financially dependent on the main member. In all instances you will require paperwork to prove the dependant's relationship to the member.
On our network options we have negotiated favourable tariffs with our network providers so
that members can avoid out-of-pocket expenses and get more value. Using networks
also means you can reduce or eliminate co-payments. On a network option members
need to make use of a network of hospitals, doctors and/or other service providers in order to be covered.
This also keeps the costs for the medical scheme down, which allows the contributions to be more affordable.
All medical aid claims must be submitted to the Scheme within 4 months of the treatment date.
Yes, Bonitas SOS offers emergency medical services for Bonitas members and their dependants.
