Does my medical aid cover the laboratory fee?

Medical aid cover in South Africa varies from scheme to scheme and plan to plan. Some tests are covered as part of screening or wellness benefits, others can be paid from your medical savings account.

When you add your medical aid to your profile, we match it to what we know about your plan, so you can see what is likely to be covered before you test.

Even when a test is not covered by a specific benefit, your savings or wellness wallet may still cover it. Laboratory fees are billed directly by the laboratory, at the rate that applies to your medical aid.
