Late joiner penalties can be applied by medical aid schemes if you join after the age of 35, or if you haven’t belonged to a medical aid scheme for a specific period of time. Fees applied vary depending on the particular medical aid scheme concerned, but are calculated as a percentage of your monthly contribution.
