Whether your family is about to grow, or still young, the Fedhealth Maxima Basis is your perfect option.
The Fedhealth Maxima Basis option gives you access to unlimited cover at all private hospitals, unlimited visits to your family practitioner (FP) and ample day-to-day savings.
You also enjoy exceptional optometry benefits, which is not deductible from your savings account, but risk.
The Fedhealth Maxima Basis further offers excellent maternity, dentistry and chronic disease benefits. Plus, after paying a co-payment, this option covers unlimited specialised radiology, which is also paid from your major medical benefits, if pre-authorised.
In fact, with Fedhealth you always get more unique benefits that are paid from risk instead of your savings. Plus, because family takes care of family, the Fedhealth Maxima Basis option also takes care of you after a hospital stay with 7 days worth of take-home medicine and 30 days of post-hospitalisation treatment included as part of your cover.
The Fedhealth Maxima Basis option features a grid version. By selecting the grid version, rather than the regular option, you will save 10% on your monthly contribution, restricted you to make use of Fedhealth Network Hospitals.
