Medshield’s new affordable plan for the tech-savvy, busy, young professional
.
A young and healthy individual might think they don’t need healthcare cover, but things can change in a blink of an eye, and then they might not have the funds readily available to cover the costs required. With that in mind, we considered the financial realities of healthy, young adults who are potentially just starting out in the working world with entry-level salaries. MediCurve is Medshield’s most-affordable plan that enables first-time medical buyers the opportunity to get great cover without any financial strain on their day-to-day lives. The low R1,398 price point would be affordable enough for any young person who is starting out in adult life.

Medshield Medical Scheme’s member-centric options remain very competitive in comparison to the market, providing excellent value for money, while being a responsible value contributor to the South African healthcare marketplace. Now as we enter the second quarter of the year, we are excited to launch MediCurve, a new quality healthcare plan from the Medshield benefit cover options that caters to yet another important demographic group in our diverse country.
MediCurve is Medshield’s most-affordable plan that enables first-time medical aid buyers the opportunity to get great cover without any financial strain on their day-to-day lives. This plan would give any parent peace of mind that their young adult has independent and reliable medical cover. Personally, I am really excited about this new plan. It is a plan I trust enough for my own daughter.
Who is MediCurve for?
MediCurve, the newest addition to the Scheme’s extensive bouquet of benefit options, is sure to unlock value for young first-time medical aid buyers. Life in the digital age is incredibly fast-paced, especially for young professionals who are often incredibly busy and rushed – juggling responsibilities, while also trying to plan for the future, run errands and so much more. MediCurve provides them with first-time medical cover that fits perfectly into their lifestyle.
Medshield wanted to create a seamless online sign-up process for young adults to acquire their healthcare in a way that is quick, simple and convenient, and most importantly does not take unnecessary time away from their already busy days. MediCurve is the perfect solution for someone who is young, in good health and constantly on the go. Signing up for MediCurve will be possible with the click of a button on our website and online platforms. You simply “Click for Cover.” This drives home the ease of use and accessibility of health cover with Medshield.

Young adults often shy away from a timely visit to the doctor because of the consultation fees which most feel they cannot afford at any time of the month. This increases the window of infection and often leads to greater problems when they visit a doctor only once symptoms are severe. MediCurve however offers free virtual consultations through the SmartCare Benefits, thus allowing young and busy individuals to get treatment for common illnesses quickly, to get back to their productive lives at a faster rate. Broadly speaking, we are protecting the youth of our nation and contributing positively to GDP – health is wealth.
Key benefits on MediCurve
MediCurve provides the young and healthy with first-time medical cover that fits perfectly into their lifestyle.

Claims can be submitted and managed online via any mobile device, and the plan gives you unlimited Family Practitioner consultations through Medshield’s SmartCare benefits. Other benefits include ambulance services, dental benefits, chronic medicine cover, maternity benefits and wellness benefits.
The use of the Medshield Specialist Network applies, as well as pre-authorisation on all hospital admissions within 72 hours. The Medshield App can be used to locate a MediCurve Hospital Network for your peace of mind. Cover for hospitalisation includes accommodation, theatre costs, hospital equipment, theatre and/or ward drugs, pharmaceuticals and/or surgical items.

This plan offers 1-2-3 easy access cover.
