Bestmed is a non-profit, mutual medical scheme registered with the Council of medical Scheme and has been providing quality healthcare for over 59 years. As one of the top five open medical schemes in the country, Bestmed owes its success and continued growth to its members. Bestmed is by members, for members and this philosophy inspires ownership, trust, and high levels of quality, externally and internally. Bestmed is an open medical scheme and operates as the largest self-administrated Medical Scheme in South Africa. With our extensive experience and exceptional expertise, we negotiate with service providers to offer members benefits and services that are Rand-for-Rand the best value compared to other larger open medical schemes. We also maintain a strong operational focus, as we continuously strive to drive down costs. We are working hard to contain increases in member contributions. Finally, our lifestyle and preventative care philosophy remains a key theme at Bestmed and aims to achieve two goals – enhance the quality of life of our members and simultaneously reduce the burden on our risk pool.
