Hi everyone

My family and I currently are on Discovery Coastal Saver. I do not require the savings account but chose the option because there are other added benefits to saver members besides the savings account. Over the years I have accumulated a large positive balance in my savings account.

This costs me around R6 600 for a family of 4. (2 adults and 2 children)

A friend recently told me that he was on Profmed and was very happy with it and it comes in at around R4 400 without the savings account. Like with Discovery you will have to use their service providers.. I also have GAP cover with Zestlife so any shortfalls for major claims should be covered by GAP.

I would like to know whether anyone here are members of Profmed and what has there experience been when claiming.

Furthermore is it normal for medical aids to impose a general waiting period of 3 months when one moves from one medical aid to another?

I am self employed so not part of any group scheme.

I would really appreciate any input.

Thanks in advance.
