Specialties

Polmed offers a range of medical scheme plans structured to meet different healthcare needs and budgets. Members can choose from an overview of plans that cover essential day to day medical expenses, as well as comprehensive benefits that include hospitalisation, specialist consultations, and chronic medication. Each option is guided by formal scheme rules, ensuring clarity on what is covered and how benefits are accessed within the South African regulatory framework for medical schemes. A key aspect of Polmed’s offering is its focus on specialised healthcare processes, such as Injury on Duty (IOD) claims and Motor Vehicle Accident (MVA) claims. For a membership base that faces occupational risks, these dedicated processes help manage claims related to work incidents and accidents, supported by structured protocols and guidance. In addition, Polmed promotes preventative benefits, encouraging members to use screenings, vaccinations, and early detection services to manage their long term health. The scheme also offers tools such as GP nomination and access to Designated Service Providers (DSPs), helping members find appropriate healthcare professionals and make informed provider choices. Polmed’s affiliation with administrative structures such as provider networks, DSPs, and managed care support services allows it to offer members coordinated healthcare. Through its Maternity Programme and other focused health initiatives, the scheme supports families during critical life events, enabling expectant parents and dependants to access structured guidance and care within their medical scheme benefits. This combination of specialised claims support, preventive care, and focused health programmes sets Polmed apart as a targeted health insurance solution in Arcadia and greater Pretoria.
