DURBAN - SOUTH Africaâs medical aid schemes have also set aside funds to finance the countryâs much-expected Covid-19 vaccine rollout.
The countryâs biggest medical aid scheme, Discovery Health, said that the sector had ring-fenced at least R7 billion to ensure that its members received the vaccine as soon as it was made available in South Africa.
For Discoveryâs members the vaccine has now been made a prescribed minimum benefit, which means all medical aid schemes in the country are now obliged to fund the cost of vacination for their members.
