Healthcare plans that don’t disappoint

From mental health benefits and MRI scan cover to preventative care and maternity benefits, you can rest assured that you’ll be taken care of throughout every stage of life.
Bonitas wellness benefits
In addition to a yearly health check-up, you can get your flu vaccine, blood, cholesterol, and glucose testing, HIV testing, and mammograms to help prevent disease and ensure early detection. You can also get your MBI and hip to waist ratios numbers that are helpful to have on hand or get you started on a weight loss or weight gain journey.
Once you’ve had your wellness screening you can then access the Wellness Extender benefit which offers you additional benefits including doctor and dietician consultations, and cover for a quit smoking program.
Who is considered a late joiner
If you’re over the age of 35 and have not had medical aid for 3 months or more. Late joiners must pay a penalty that increases their medical aid quotes and instalments. This increase is calculated based on the number of years that you were not part of a medical aid scheme.
Bonitas rate explained
If you receive a consultation costing 200% of the medical aid rate, let’s say R1,200 and Bonitas pays 100% of the Bonitas rate – they will only cover R600, leaving you to pay the balance. This is why it’s important to make use of medical professionals charging Bonitas rate or those that are on the scheme’s network and therefore will be covered in full.
Waiting periods to consider
When you become a member of Bonitas you will have to consider certain mandatory waiting periods. Before you or any of your dependents can make a medical aid claim a 3 month period must first elapse (from the moment you take out the plan).
If you have a pre-existing condition you may have to comply with a 12-month waiting period during which you cannot make any claims related to the specific condition.
Applying for Medical aid online
You can begin your journey to better health by visiting Bonita's website and making your medical aid application online. You can apply for an insurance quote where you’ll be asked a series of questions including how many dependents you have, your contact information, and what type of cover you want (a medical aid or a hospital plan) and you’ll be presented with a range of options to suit your needs.
You can then compare plans side by side, download the full brochure or just review the benefits of each option. This makes selecting the ideal medical aid plan for your needs easy. If you’re unsure of which option to choose you can contact Bonitas and a consultant will assist you.
