Steep medical aid price increases in 2017

admin Medical Aid, Practice Management

Most SA medical schemes set to hike their contributions by double-digit figures according to a Cape Argus report.

The country’s largest open scheme, Discovery Health Medical Scheme, which has about 3m members, said it would cap its increase at 10.2%, with hikes across its 22 options ranging from 7.8% to 14.9%. Bonitas, which is the second largest open medical aid, said it would up its contributions by 11.9% across all its options, while Momentum would cap its increases at 11%.

Milton Streak, principal officer of Discovery Health Medical Scheme, said in the report that member contribution increases for next year were linked to medical inflation and healthcare tariff increases. Dr Bobby Ramasia, principal executive officer of Bonitas, said to limit healthcare cost increases, the scheme was implementing cost-containment solutions, including negotiating rates with healthcare providers and hospital groups.
