Medical aid? Your visit may be covered.

Medical aid rates apply and I submit the claim on your behalf — so there's less admin for you. Affordable cash rates with convenient payment options are also available. Not sure if you're covered? Just ask when you enquire.

Many medical aids also include a wellness or screening benefit that includes dietitian consultations, such as Bestmed Tempo, Polmed Health Benefit, Fedhealth, Key Health, and Discovery Vitality Check. If your plan includes one of these, use your benefit.

Chantelle was a blessing in disguise. Her bedside manner is to be applauded, and she gives sound advice — with all the patience in the world when you don't understand something. She also follows up and checks in to see how you're doing.
