Deciphering Medical Aid with IFC
If you are new to the world of medical aid schemes, the whole process can appear quite daunting. There are so many providers to choose from, and each of these providers has a wide range of packages, each one tailored to a different kind of customer.
Not only can it be difficult to decide which medical aid scheme to subscribe to, deciding on the wrong scheme can lead to serious problems down the line. You may contract a condition you thought was covered by your medical aid (that actually isn’t) and have to foot the bill alone.
IFC have made the process of choosing an appropriate medical aid scheme a breeze by offering a number of helpful services on their website, www.medicalaid-quotes.co.za
Medical Aid Comparison Tool
Far and away the most helpful resource on the site is the medical aid comparison tool. IFC are affiliated with the most popular medical aid providers in South Africa, and provide detailed information about each one.
You will hopefully have whittled down your options once you’ve done some research, and using IFC’s comparison tool is the best way to easily decide on the package that best suits your health, family and income. The options are diverse, and there are schemes that are designed to suit many different demographics and income groups.
Once you have selected the two medical aid schemes that you would like to see compared, the comparison tool arranges the medical aid schemes’ details in an easy to understand format, breaking down each medical aid scheme into three bite-size factors: In Hospital Benefits, Out of Hospital Benefits, and Contributions. This helps to cut through the medical jargon usually associated with medical aid forms, so you can confidently decide on an appropriate medical aid scheme.
