When it comes to securing your future, few things allow you to safeguard yourself and your family as well as medical aid can. The last 19 months have shown us the undeniable value and saving grace that medical aid can be in the face of crises and emergencies.
From keeping you covered for day-to-day pharmacy needs and any possible hospital stays, there are plenty of benefits to be reaped from setting up a medical aid plan early. Here are three ways that setting up a medical aid plan, even a beginner one, can save you in the long run:
Your monthly payments keep you secured for day-to-day medical needs
With the changing seasons, catching a common cold is commonplace. Visits to the pharmacy to pick up the occasional allergy and flu meds can be pricey; this is where the buffer of medical aid can come in handy. Your monthly instalments keep you covered when needing to buy medicines by linking your medical aid to your local pharmacy for any essentials you may need.
You can customise and upgrade your medical aid plan as your life evolves
Most medical aid schemes offer a diverse range of plans that cater to different budgets and needs of individuals and families. You’re able to upgrade your plan through your medical aid scheme as your life expands and progresses – from starting as a beginner and progressing to a family plan as your dependent list grows.

Medical procedures can cost thousands of rands and hospital stays even more when tallied up, this is where having a blanket of medical aid can lift the financial burden from your shoulders. Cover plans that include hospital stays will allow you to feel secure when it comes to emergency hospital procedures or even planned hospital stays. The cover plans from Medshield like MediPhila, MediPlus, MediCore, and PremiumPlus allow you to be fully insured for unlimited hospital cover – giving you, your family, and your wallet peace of mind.
