Whether it’s becoming a baked bean connoisseur or putting R40 in the tank while you wait for that petrol price to drop, as a student, every saving counts right?
When it comes to your health the last thing you want to do is skimp but as the medical aid with the cheapest rates for international students in SA, we’re here to tell you that you can in fact have your cake and eat it too. As long as it’s low carb, low-fat, vegan and sugar-free 😉 – just kidding.
Jokes aside though, you can expect incredible value for an unbeatable price of just R565. Here are three smart things CompCare does to deliver an exceptional medical scheme experience tailored to your needs as an international student while saving you bucks each month because let’s face it – financial health is a thing.
- Buddying up. Partnering with doctors and hospitals at pre-negotiated rates might sound like bla-bla-bla, but this is one of the most effective ways to save members valuable rands because it means you don’t have to be faced with an out-of-pocket payment for a surprise bill. Both the medical scheme and the doctor have already agreed to the rate upfront, so it’s all taken care of. It also means that you can have unlimited doctor visits, unlimited acute medication when prescribed by a Universal Network doctor, unlimited radiology and pathology when referred… you get the picture. Basically, your day-to-day care is fully covered within our network so no need to stress about any follow-up consultations for a stubborn infection or delaying a blood test when you really need it. And in-hospital benefits? Covered of course – at 100% of the scheme rate. That’s how a major national network works hard for you.
- Well, well….wellness. Why settle for less when you can have more? Wellness benefits are often used as a bit of marketing-spin. With CompCare, it’s legit. Starting with preventative care including basic blood tests and contraception, to women’s and men’s health screenings, all the way through to the Most Legit Wellness App Ever. Okay, that last one is a matter of opinion but we’re pretty sure you’ll agree once you’ve tried it. It’s called uWellnessTM and as a CompCare member, it’s yours, covering all eight dimensions of your daily wellbeing with evidence-based, in-depth resources to help you live your best life like never before. Plus, the app is linked to a remote doctor consultation platform making convenience real through digital care. Your wellbeing journey today sets the roadmap to your future health. We’re here to support that.
