Thinking of changing medical aid but when you need to provide Bestmed with 29 years medical history even though I've been with my current medical aid for 14 years is ludicrous.

Bestmed Medical Scheme's replyOfficial
29 Nov 2023, 11:28Dear Catherine Etzinger
Please note that the Medical Scheme Act mandates that medical schemes impose a late-joiner penalty when an individual joins a medical scheme for the first time at age 35 or older and when a member has a lapse in coverage for more than three months and then wishes to rejoin a medical scheme.
To determine the applicability of a late-joiner penalty fee, we require confirmation of all previous coverage from the individual's former medical schemes.

Nondumiso

29 Nov 2023, 11:46Late joiner penalty? Lapse in coverage? Thinking of changing from current medical aid (14 year continuous history) . You were recommended but obviously you don't need/want new clients
