On Elect, you will enjoy a 25% saving every month by using any private hospital and paying a fixed co-payment on planned hospital procedures.
Any Hospital

GRID
Full cover at network hospitals
R 3 404
per month
In exchange, you must use Fedhealth’s Private Hospital Network for planned procedures. The network includes over 120 of South Africa’s best private hospitals and 90% of our members live within a 10-kilometre radius of these hospitals. You can still use a non-network hospital if you wish, but you will then have to pay a R14 700 co-payment. However, the co-payment does not apply in case of emergencies.

Elect
Full cover at any private hospital with a co-payment for elective surgery
R 2 844
per month
In exchange, you will be charged a fixed excess of R14 700 on all hospital admissions, except for emergencies. This excess however only applies to the hospital bill; you could still have co-payments on out-of-network specialists, a procedure co-payment or shortfalls because benefit limits have been exceeded.
YOUR MEDICAL AID PLAN, YOUR WAY
On flexiFED, you choose how to structure your day-to-day benefits. Either use your flexiFED option as a hospital plan only and pay for your own day-to-day expenses, use it as a savings plan to get a set amount of day-to-day savings that you pay back in equal portions from January each year, or use it as a flexible savings plan and only pay for what you’ve used interest free over 12 months. Remember, Fedhealth pays more from Risk than other schemes, so even on a hospital plan, you’re already get so much more!
