Platinum Health Medical Aid gives everyone plenty benefits and medical service options and is top choice for consumers in South Africa. For example, one gets unlimited GP visits after registration. Also, patients are not prevented from seeking medical attention and care from various specialist doctors. In-hospital facilities and services are available to everyone.
Why Platinum
In treating acute diseases and illnesses, Platinum Health Care has been very kind in its supply of medications. In fact, as far as treating acute ailments is concerned, there is no limit to the amount of medications administered. Patients with chronic illnesses are still well taken care of with the supply of up to eighty medications. This shows that Platinum leads when compared to others in South Africa. As a matter of fact, most companies in South Africa only cover approximately 25 types of prescribed medications to their members with chronic conditions.
Basically Platinum acts as a one stop solution to its members. Medical attention can easily be found as Platinum takes care of internal management duties on its own. Even basic members are able to enjoy fast services as the company does the authorization duties, books placements in hospitals, manages transportation issues and takes care of its members’ accounts. One has to admit the difficulty in finding medical schemes that gets everything finished under the same roof.
Platinum ensures the correct treatment is given when they enter hospitals registered under their scheme. In short, it always displays world class quality in terms of following the right treatment protocols.

At the same time, all medical facilities are placed at easy to reach locations. When members have difficulties to arrive at the appointed hospital, Platinum takes care of the transportation needs as well.
Boards of Trustees are appointed from registered members, and this shows that members have the right to make decisions for Platinum. It is also well-known as the biggest healthcare program provider in the world. Unlike other medical scheme providers in South Africa, Platinum has been very generous to its members as it doesn’t require a ridiculous increase in members’ contribution. Basic members do enjoy a lot of privileges, and one of them is the exception of paper claims and this means claims can be obtained without much hassle.
