How we make money.
medicalinsurance.co.za is free to use. We never charge South Africans for a comparison or for being introduced to a scheme.
When you choose to get a quote, the scheme you pick may pay us a referral fee. That fee never changes the premium you're quoted, and it never changes where schemes sit in our rankings — those are based on our independent editorial scoring.
If a scheme doesn't pay us at all, we still list them. We'd rather show you the right cover than only the ones paying us.
