Why do I have to pay a co-payment on my medicine?
Having medical aid offers peace of mind and access to quality private healthcare, but it doesnโt always mean every medicine is covered in full. A co-payment is the amount you need to pay when your medical aid doesnโt cover the full cost of your medicine. This can happen when:
๐ธ Your medicine costs more than your scheme is willing to pay.
๐ธ The medicine isnโt on your medical aidโs preferred medicine list.
๐ธ A brand-name medicine is chosen instead of a covered generic alternative.
๐ธ Your benefit limits for the month or year have been reached.
In simple terms, your medical aid pays a set amount towards the medicine โ and if the medicine costs more than that amount, you pay the difference. Understanding co-payments can help you make informed choices and avoid unexpected costs at the pharmacy counter. Where possible, we're happy to provide information on generic alternatives. Because paying extra for no reason is enough to give anyone a headache!
