Welcome to Essential Med

Protect yourself and your family against unforeseen events and expenses. With health insurance, you can enjoy the peace-of-mind of access to private medical care when you need it most. Essential Med provides comprehensive, but simple healthcare solutions at an affordable price.

Our core products include:

• A Day-to-Day Benefit Plan which covers out-of-hospital expenses for routine medical needs. Members have access to a national network of medical practitioners through Care Cross, a leader in primary healthcare. Benefits include, amongst others, FREE doctor and dentist visits, medication (including acute and chronic) at NO additional cost; as well as optometry, radiology and pathology.
• A Hospital Plan which provides funding for major accident, illness, permanent disability and dread disease and includes a death benefit. This product is underwritten by Regent Insurance, well established in the medical services industry.

Essential Med members also have direct access to a dedicated helpline offering assistance with everyday needs and emergencies. Benefits include emergency medical evacuation, identification and medical information, roadside assistance, emergency home response, personal health advice and legal assistance.

Essential Med does not operate a medical aid scheme and is not a medical aid. We offer affordable health insurance as an alternative to traditional medical aid schemes, as well as a cost-effective hospital cash plan. Our products offer essential medical cover and a very strong value-for-money proposition. However, the scope of cover cannot be compared directly with that of a medical aid scheme.
