Medical Aid

Offering medical aid in South Africa is not mandatory, however, providing these plans can greatly enhance the healthcare experience for employees and ensure access to necessary medical services. In South Africa, Remote provides a variety of local healthcare plans, tailored to different needs. The primary distinction among these options pertains to their Day-to-Day coverage. Employees can utilize the allocated funds in their Medical Savings Accounts (MSA) for most outpatient treatments. However, when their MSA funds are depleted, they would require an extended benefit to maintain access to Day-to-Day coverage. The Smart and Delta Saver plans, offer comprehensive coverage options with specific network restrictions to accommodate different needs and preferences. The Saver plan offers basic coverage with no extension once MSA funds are depleted. The Priority plan provides a limited extension of Day-to-Day coverage once the MSA’s annual threshold is reached. The Comprehensive plan offers an unlimited extension of Day-to-Day coverage after reaching the MSA’s annual threshold, ensuring continuous access to outpatient treatments.
