Fix Your Excess gives you the peace of mind that comes with knowing exactly what you’ll pay when you claim

With this optional add-on, your excess is fixed at R1 000 on most claims. Skip the percentages. No surprises. 

If you don’t claim a lot, & only for big claim amounts, this is a no-brainer for you. 

It replaces the Lite, LitePlus, Essential & Ultimate360 Day-2-Day benefit, Hospital (for Essential & Ultimate360 plan members) & Dental (an Ultimate360 benefit) excesses, making your claims simpler and more predictable. 

Fix Your Excess can be added (or removed) at the time of joining, & at annual renewal only. So don’t miss out. 

Available on all plans, except Accident plan. 

First of its kind in SA – this can be used to add benefits, increase benefits, or cover pre-existing conditions (on all plans.) Wow!

Cover for ongoing treatments not traditionally covered by insurance.

Available on Essential & Ultimate360 plans only.
