    Report Coverage

    This report on medical aid funding in South Africa includes information on the effects of the pandemic and recovery, membership and claims trends and the development of the NHI. There are profiles of 30 companies including the major government scheme GEMS and major private sector players such as Discovery, Momentum and Bonitas.

    Medical Aid Funding in South Africa

    South Africa has a two-tiered, and highly unequal, healthcare system, with most of the population being state-funded. While only 14.86% of the population can afford private healthcare sector, the high costs are making it increasingly difficult for some people to continue. Government plans to implement National Health Insurance (NHI) to fund healthcare in the public and private sectors, with most of the funding coming from general taxes and contributions of people earning above a set amount. The process, which began in August 2011, has been slow, and the NHI Bill is still under consideration in the National Assembly. The private sector has raised concerns about its affordability, and the state’s ability to implement it effectively and competently.

    Key Issues

    Rising and unregulated healthcare costs, an ageing population and the increase in non-communicable lifestyle diseases are key challenges. Average annual consumer prices for medical services and pharmaceuticals continue to increase ahead of inflation and premiums are high, making membership unaffordable for most South Africans. Fraud, waste, and abuse is a key issue in the industry, impacting around 22% of all claims. Fraudulent activity and abuse includes doctors and medical personnel colluding with members, submission of false claims, over-servicing or over-charging.

    Trends

    There has been a decrease in the number of registered medical schemes over the past two decades, mainly due to consolidation. Medical scheme membership, however, has increased. Claims declined in 2020 but increased in 2021 as members scheduled delayed elective surgeries. Changes are taking place in terms of attracting young members and low cost cover, online consultations and predictive and preventative care.

    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on Medical Aid Funding, and includes information on the state and size of the sector, developments and corporate actions of its major players, and influencing factors including regulation and the effect of the coronavirus pandemic. There are profiles of 31 companies including major administrators such as Discovery Health, Medscheme and Momentum Health, restricted schemes such as the Government Employees Medical Scheme, South African Police Service Medical Aid and Sasolmed, and open schemes such as Bestmed and Medshield.

    Medical Aid Funding

    South Africa spends more on private health insurance as a percentage of total health expenditure than almost any other country. Although the sector performs a critical role in the health system, medical scheme membership remains out of the reach of over 85% of the population. Although the details remain unclear, the implementation of the National Health Insurance Fund will invariably affect the public and private healthcare systems, including the medical aid funding sector.

    Affordability

    Medical aid premiums continue to rise faster than inflation. In response to the high cost of medical scheme plans, many members opt for cheaper options, which saves them on monthly premiums but increases their out-of-pocket medical expenses. Many scheme members rely on gap cover to mitigate the financial burden of their medical expense shortfalls. South Africa’s poor economic performance has augmented the trend of members downgrading their benefit options without readjusting expectations. Reacting to rising costs and sluggish membership growth, and medical schemes have created bare-minimum hospital plans. There are long-term concerns around the exclusivity of private medical schemes because of their unaffordability for majority of people.

    Low-Cost Benefit Options

    The Council for Medical Schemes announced its intention to discontinue low-cost benefit options which target low income market segments. From March 2021, none of the demarcation products that were established in line with the exemption framework will be allowed and no new products will be permitted. Demarcation products include insurance options from as little as R300. These products provide private healthcare access to over 400,000 people. Many insurance providers are appealing the decision.

    Report Coverage

    The Medical Aid Funding Report describes the industry, major players and recent trends. It examines the initial Competition Commission findings and new legislation and factors influencing the sector’s success. It provides comprehensive profiles of 31 medical schemes and fund administrators including the major players in the private and public sector and smaller schemes such as Keyhealth and the Chartered Accountants Medical Aid Fund.

    Medical Aid Funding

    The South African medical aid funding industry provides cover to over 8.8 million beneficiaries whose gross contributions amounted to R179.8bn in 2017. The total number of registered medical schemes declined from 124 in 2006 to 80 at end-March 2018. Discovery Health is the dominant player with over 2.7 million beneficiaries or around 31% of the total domestic market and over 50% of the open medical schemes segment. The Government Employees Medical Scheme dominates the restricted medical schemes segment with a market share of 47%. Medical scheme membership remains out of the reach of over 83% of the South African population.

    Changes Ahead

    The Competition Commission’s health market enquiry and the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill and the Medical Schemes Amendment Bill are set to shake up the public and private healthcare systems. The medical aid funding industry is characterised by consolidation, contracting medical scheme benefits and rising gross monthly contributions per beneficiary. The industry faces numerous challenges including slowing membership growth and rising healthcare costs.

    Report Coverage

    The report on the medical aid funding sector describes the current market, the latest regulatory developments and discusses factors influencing the success of the sector. The report profiles nine medical fund administrators and 23 medical aid companies including market leader, Discovery Health which increased its market share in the open medical schemes segment from 52.4% in 2013 to 53.4% in 2014, and the Government Employees’ Medical Scheme (GEMS), the largest of the restricted medical schemes.

    Medical Aid Funding Sector

    This report focuses on South Africa’s medical aid funding industry. The sector comprises 83 registered medical schemes, 23 open and 60 restricted, and currently serves almost 8.8 million beneficiaries. With scheme contributions of R140.2bn and healthcare expenditure of R124.1bn for the financial year ending 31 March 2015, the industry plays a critical role in South Africa’s private health sector, which is currently the subject of a Competition Commission inquiry.

    Consolidation and Growing Pressure

    During the past fifteen years, the South African medical aid funding industry has consolidated, with numerous small medical schemes amalgamating with larger schemes. Between 2000 and 2015, the total number of registered medical schemes decreased by 42%. According to the Council for Medical Schemes (CMS), consolidation is viewed as “a response to market forces and is not necessarily a negative development or an indication of instability in the South African medical schemes environment.” However, the medical aid funding industry is a sector under increasing pressure. Regulatory uncertainty continues to undermine the industry. Challenges identified by stakeholders include demarcation regulations and regulations governing Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMBs). Many role players have called for a review of regulations relating to solvency calculation, risk equalisation and governance. While the number of beneficiaries receiving treatment for chronic diseases rises, the number of new members is decreasing, a trend that is expected to continue. Role players have cited unemployment and the lack of disposable income as the major contributing factors.
