Suremed health medical aid – The state of healthcare access in South Africa can best be described as a variation between basic health care offered free by the state to highly specialised hi-tech health services offered in few institutions in both the public and private sector. The distinctive difference between the two is that the public sector is funded by state resources which are limited while the private sector on the other hand is run on commercial lines and caters for middle and high income earners. The solution for the above described scenario has been the emerging of medical scheme covers in South Africa which cover the cost of access to quality health care.
Established in 1976, Suremed has been at the fore front in the past few decades in providing medical aid solutions at affordable rates to many South Africans. In this regard, Suremed offers diverse medical aid options such as challenger, navigator, shuttle and explorer.
The challenger is a Suremed product considered to be a traditional plan without annual limits, with extensive major medical benefits and generous sub-limits for day-to-day benefits. The challenger is very popular with high income earners due to its comprehensiveness. The navigator offers extensive major medical benefits with lower annual limits for treating conditions such as cancer and organ failure, it also has no annual limits.
