The grocery discount alone covered our Premier fee twice over last year.
Functional but feels a generation behind Discovery's. Chronic scripts work fine.

Key facts pulled from the latest CMS annual report and scheme audited financials.
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.
