Not sure where to start with medical aid cover? Medshield has the solution
MESHIELD wants young people to start right. This begins with exceptional medical cover that considers their age and lifestyle needs, and gives them access to private healthcare.
With the launch of MediSwift, young and healthy active adults now have access to a cost-effective, value-based hospital plan with extra out-of-hospital wellness, physiotherapy and biokinetics benefits. As a member of MediSwift, you qualify for in-patient hospital care and treatment at some of the best private hospitals and under the care of some of the best doctors, surgeons and specialists in South Africa within the Medshield network.
Over and above in-hospital benefits, MediSwift also features physiotherapy and biokinetics benefits as well as two family practitioner visits annually, which are stand-alone primary care benefits and not linked to hospital admission. This is specifically for those active members who might require treatment, but whose injuries are not serious enough for hospital admission.
In addition, MediSwift also features an annual Medshield wellness benefit that includes the Covid-19 vaccination, flu vaccination as well as birth control, cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose and BMI tests, among others.
All members also have access to a loyalty programme, which is specifically
designed for Medshield members. The Elevate Health and Wellness portal gives Medshield members access to brand new technology that records their lifestyle data and rewards them for healthy behaviour. It also links to smart phones and wearable devices to measure all daily physical activity – earning members even more rewards.
Furthermore, the partnership with Just Rewards offers members access to an easy, no stress lifestyle and wellness rewards programme through the free ExtraCare tier, featuring grocery savings, legal benefits and more. The lifestyle tier includes a host of rewards ranging from dining, movie, retail and gym membership benefits, among others.
Start right with MediSwift
Hospital cover enables young adults to embark on a personal health journey that starts right. Not having any medical cover can leave you exposed to risk in the future. With this in mind, MediSwift is the perfect plan for young adults who are beginning their independent life journeys and know that they need a health cover partner that will prioritise their wellbeing through every step of life. Starting right makes the rest easier; it lays a foundation to build on and move forward in life with good health, knowing that you are on the right track.
With a history of more than 53 years, Medshield remains committed to its members by paying special attention to their individual healthcare needs.
Its range of nine medical aid plans features a host of benefits that are competitive – and when comparing apples with apples, its plans often come out tops in terms of value for money and benefit-richness.
