SAMWUMED rejects the false claims being spread by Melomed.

We routinely rotate hospital networks — Melomed was removed at the end of 2024.

Facts:

• No co-payments at any of our 3,000 Network Specialists (including those at Melomed).

• Planned admissions to Melomed = 25% co-payment.

• Emergencies at Melomed = fully covered.

We are seeking legal counsel. We will not be drawn into further commentary.

Our Story

As one of the most affordable medical aid schemes in South Africa catering specifically to local government employees and associated industries, we strive to deliver the best healthcare cover through two different medical aid plans that include essential healthcare benefits at low contributions. The Scheme's underlying principles support the view that all South Africans are entitled to quality healthcare at a fair cost and that society must unite to ensure its adequate funding. As such, SAMWUMED sees itself as more than just a facilitator for healthcare transactions but as a guardian of our members' rights.
