Savings

Savings account
  • 25% of your contribution goes to a built-in Savings account to cover your day-to-day expenses.
  • Your Savings account is credited in advance for the year and any unused Savings balance at the end of the year will be carried forward to the following benefit year.
  • If the Savings are not enough to cover annual day-to-day expenses, you will have a self-funding gap to pay out-of-pocket, up to the Threshold of R33 400 (principal member), R29 000 (adult dependant), R9 600 (per child, up to a maximum of 3 children).
  • Although claims add up to the Threshold at 100% of the Momentum Medical Scheme Rate, you may claim a higher amount from Savings if the provider charges more than the Momentum Medical Scheme Rate. This will result in a bigger self-funding gap. You can use HealthSaver+ to fund your self-funding gap.
