Affordable Primary Care.
For You and Your Family.
Primary Care insurance provides essential day-to-day medical cover at a fraction of the cost of a traditional medical aid. Get access to private GPs, dentistry, optometry, and medication when you need it most.
The Basics
What is Primary Care Insurance?
Unlike a comprehensive medical aid that focuses heavily on hospital cover, Primary Care insurance (also known as health insurance) is designed to cover your routine, out-of-hospital medical expenses. It's an affordable alternative or supplement to ensure you can always access private healthcare for everyday needs.
GP Consultations
Access to a network of private General Practitioners for illness and routine check-ups.
Acute Medication
Cover for prescribed medication linked to your GP visits, helping you recover faster.
Basic Dentistry
Routine dental care including consultations, cleaning, fillings, and extractions.
Optometry
Eye tests and basic frames and lenses to keep your vision sharp and healthy.
Understanding the Difference
Primary Care vs Medical Aid
It's important to understand that Primary Care insurance is not a medical aid scheme. Here is how they differ and why Primary Care might be the right choice for you:
Affordability
Primary Care plans are significantly more affordable than traditional medical aids, making private healthcare accessible to more South Africans.
Focus on Day-to-Day
While medical aids prioritize expensive hospital events, Primary Care focuses on keeping you healthy with day-to-day benefits.
Network Providers
To keep costs low, Primary Care utilizes specific networks of doctors, dentists, and pharmacies.
Stated Benefits
Health insurance pays out stated benefits for specific events, rather than paying according to a medical scheme tariff.
