Getting the medial aid coverage that you need is sometimes easier than one may think. For those employees of Media24 and their affiliates, there are two different medical aid plans in place to help with any potential medical illness or emergency that may happen in the life of you or your qualifying dependant’s lives. Not only does Naspers medical aid offer the medical cover that the employees of Media24 and their qualifying family members need, it is required that any employee that works for this company selects and signs up for one of the two different medical plan options. This helps to ensure that when the need arises for medical assistance, whether for a chronic illness or a medical emergency, there is coverage in place to help pay the costs of the treatments.
The two plans that Naspers medical aid has available are the N Option Basic and the N Option Plus. Each of these plans was designed with specific benefits in mind for their members. One of the most important forms of cover that is in place, in both of these plans, is the Chronic Illness benefit. There is a list of Chronic Illnesses, or diseases, that qualifying members can get regular medicine and treatment for regardless of the plan for which they are signed up. Some of these illnesses or diseases include diabetes, asthma, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, glaucoma, and bipolar mood disorder. There are additional diseases that the N Option Plus plan covers, as it is a more comprehensive medical plan, than its counterpart is.
Along with the medical assistance that is provided for pre-existing, or chronic illnesses, both of the Naspers medical aid plans cover a variety of different medical treatments and medical necessities. One of the most important forms of coverage that is offered is the hospital benefit. This is a critical benefit to have if the need should arise for you or a family member on your plan requires admittance into a hospital for some type of medical treatment. It is important to note that prior to admittance into the hospital that the member contact Naspers medical staff to confirm that the admission and treatment is covered by the medical plan that is held. If this is not done prior to admittance, it is possible that the member could be liable for the costs incurred for not only the hospital stay but also the treatment. Other treatments and services cover medicines, medical emergencies, oncology, and coverage for a variety of tests.
Having medical care in place is essential for not only the maintenance of regular health but also in the unfortunate occasions an accident or other emergency leaves you seeking medical assistance.
