Medical aid schemes have been found to splurge on annual general meetings, with Sizwe Medical Fund the biggest culprit, according to a Council for Medical Schemes report released this week.
Retirement, medical and other contributions deducted from employees’ salaries are not being paid to the relevant funds and schemes by some SOEs and unions.
The 20 000 SA Post Office workers, dependants and pensioners, whose MediPos Medical Scheme cover was cancelled from October 1 as a result of the post office failing to make payments totaling R700m to the scheme, are anxiously waiting for news of their re-instatement.
