Medical scheme

A regulated health cover scheme that pays part of private healthcare costs.

Medical schemes are regulated by the Council for Medical Schemes. Cover for fertility care varies widely between schemes and between plans within a scheme. Consultations and some tests may be paid from savings or day-to-day benefits, while assisted reproduction is commonly excluded or limited. Always confirm your own plan's terms in writing, quoting the procedure codes your doctor provides.
