Bestmed: All the 2017 medical aid plans

The Beat range offers full hospital benefits, with limited savings on Beat2 and Beat3 to cover out-of-hospital expenses, while Beat4 gives extensive out-of-hospital cover. Cancer is treated in State facilities, except with Beat 4 (if you are diagnosed with cancer, you can upgrade your plan to receive cover in a private hospital). Network options reduce your premium but limit our hospital choice.
The Pace range offers more comprehensive hospital benefits, with additional Scheme benefits and more savings to cover out-of-hospital expenses.
The Pulse range offers full hospital benefits with out-of-hospital benefits provided by designated network providers only.
