Bestmed Medical Scheme has been around for 52 years with more than 95 000 main members and over 200 000 beneficiaries. Reaching this milestone was no easy feat and was only possible through our dedicated and talented staff who are not only our members but continue to help Bestmed grow from strength to strength as the largest open self-administered scheme in South Africa.
It means that your money is your money. Being a member of the scheme means that you manage your money within the scheme. Self-administered schemes have no third party administrators, and therefore you receive more value with more benefits due to lower administration costs. Another benefit of a self-administered scheme is that we can negotiate better tariffs with network providers, which benefit you as the member. More bang for your buck as they say!
Bestmed sponsors a number of road running and cycling events, nationwide. We are heavily invested in sport and sport development in South Africa. Our initiative with the School of Excellence is to provide coaching and development to students within the region to mould them into great leaders for tomorrow’s Mzansi.
In order to excel, to reach maximum potential and to go to great heights, Bestmed’s five wellness pillars will help get you there. Our pillars are holistic which focuses on overall well-being so that you can be the best and enjoy a great quality of life as an athlete.
