About Day1 Health

Assisting clients with medical insurance services since 2003, Day1 Health (Pty) Ltd has been the answer.

Taking Medical insurance to a new level

Over the years, taking health insurance to a new level, supporting their client's needs, offering cover within their budgets, and giving them the cover options that they need to suit their needs and budget, all from day 1.

By providing medical insurance quotes and options for South Africans and their families, businesses, and groups as well as an employee benefit in corporations who want to include a health insurance benefit to their company perks.

Covering you when others won't

Their insurance cover has become one very beneficial factor in the lives of those who have it, as the majority of their clients have found that their medical insurance is not covering their financial needs in full, because of prescribed minimum benefits attached to their funds.

With their medical insurance cover, you get to cover the missed payment gaps to ensure that you don’t have to find cash of your own to get the healthcare you need to stay healthy.

Day1 Health Services

Offering South Africans the opportunity to get medical and health insurance that covers day-to-day and hospital payments through a number of options.

They give clients the ability to make use of doctor or GP visits as often as they like with their day-to-day benefits.

Medical insurance providers

They will provide their clients with a list of preferred doctors on their network list which is included in the policy. With the list of specified specialist visits allocated per family per year as well as chronic mediation benefits, radiography and pathology cover, and more.

Hospital plan option 

The option with the hospital plan covers all in-hospital treatments including surgery for patients to the amount of R10,000 per day for the first three days. Payouts for the days following may be slightly lower, depending on the cover option and premiums you choose.
