Medihelp will put them on but they will charge the first child as the principal member and the second child as an adult dependant at an adult dependant rate. Their phone number is : 0860 100 678.

hi i have searched for just kids medical aid but its illegal as they are under age, must have an adult dependant ...
if you are looking for a cheap medical aid.. myself and my daughter are on medihelp - necesse option (prime cure)... for R918...google them... prime cure is the cheapest medical aid on the market

Got a question. My partner and i are not married. We want to put my daughter on my partners medical aid, what all would i need in order for this to happen?

Interesting - I wish there was a medical aid scheme that accepted kids only.
Ive seen our medical aid used and abused every month, come half way through the year - the savings have been exhausted!
Why ? you might ask - because SOME woman are just like that - vengeful , wanting to "show" you a point - and who suffers at the end of the day, when the kid is REALLY ill ?!
Then they still have the nerve to ask you , who is paying now that aid is exhausted - f@cken fat chance if you think its me!

Good Day i have found that one can have yur child on a medical aid alone but they would be the sole member there for pay member rates. this is through Discovery Healty. i am on a medical aid and my son whom is three is on Discovery:d/

We spoke to my wife's specialist on Monday - and he's of the opinion (and actually does it himself) that a hospital plan (either Liberty or Discovery) is all you need.

You then take the difference between a 'normal' medical aid and the hospital plan, and put that (strictly!!!!) into a savings account every month, using those funds to pay the day-to-day doctors' visits and prescriptions.

You'll save a lot of money - in our own case, we will be saving about R4000-00 per month, for a 4-person family.

Having had a good look at the numbers, I cannot find a single good reason NOT to use a hospital plan and get rid of the medical aid. In fact, last year alone we would have saved ourselves something in the region of R20,000-00 - MORE than enough for a nice family holiday. Over the last 10 years, taking into account inflation and even accounting for all the serious health emergencies we experienced as a family during that period, we would have been able to more than halve our bond with what we would have saved!

Wisdom in retrospect, I suppose... but going forward, I know ONE medical aid that isn't being renewed come January 2012...

What does a medical aid provide you with that you can't get cheaper for cash or (alternatively) through a hospital plan? Unless you have some really SERIOUS problems in your family, I can't fathom it.

And anybody can have a hospital plan.
