Every now and again, a medical aid option will pop up claiming to be the most affordable option for young professionals.

Fact is, for the past two years and counting, that crown has belonged to flexiFED^Savvy, which is truly South Africa’s most affordable medical aid option for the digitally savvy generation.

At just R1055 per month for a main member in 2025, flexiFED^Savvy offers unbeatable value for those under 35, including three face-to-face (and unlimited virtual) GP consultations per year, a virtual mental health benefit, female contraceptives that are paid from Risk, and many more.

The option is optimised for the digital lifestyle this generation prefers… without a single piece of paper or call centre in sight.

Customisation = affordability

Fedhealth’s entire flexiFED product line-up is built on the pillars of affordability, flexibility, customisation and control, and flexiFED^Savvy is no different.

Fedhealth firmly believes that the more control you have over how your option is structured, the more you can control the rate you pay without having to sacrifice the quality of the benefits you really need.

With that in mind, you can choose to structure your option in one of three ways – as a hospital plan, as a savings plan, or as a hospital plan combined with Sanlam Primary Care, which offers a selection of day-to-day benefits at a heavily reduced rate.

But that is not where the flexibility of flexiFED^Savvy ends.

If you should take up flexiFED^Savvy as a hospital plan only, but later find yourself in need of day-to-day savings, you can convert your hospital plan into a savings plan at any time.

Best of all, you don’t have to pay for the total day-to-day savings allowance made available to you; you only pay for what you actually use.

This approach to flexible day-to-day savings is unique to Fedhealth and gives you ultimate control over what you spend on medical aid.  

Why pay more for “what if”?

Uniquely to Fedhealth, you can also upgrade to a higher option at any time of the year within 30 days of a life-changing event, like pregnancy or diagnosis of a dread disease.

In a time where affordability matters so much to every South African household, this unique feature means that our members do not have to pay for being on a more comprehensive option all the time “just in case” something happens down the line.

You can pay for the option you require right now… safe in the knowledge that you can choose a more expensive option later, should you ever need it.

Fedhealth’s unique benefits stretch day-to-day savings further

flexiFED^Savvy includes Fedhealth’s unique risk-funded benefits, and include expenses such as unlimited virtual GP consultations, seven days of take-home medicine and 30 days of treatment after a hospital stay, trauma treatment at a casualty ward and more.

Besides the fact that flexiFED^Savvydoes cost less than any competing option, these unique benefits further illustrate the importance of distinguishing between “affordable” and “cheap”.

Welcome to the Republic of Savvy

Beyond great pricing and benefits, flexiFED^Savvy members also get exclusive access to the Republic of Savvy – an exclusive online entertainment and rewards platform packed with fun and prizes.

Here, “Savillians” can unwind and score rewards daily.

Spin the big wheel for daily lucky draws, play mobile games, or learn about medical aid through the Republic’s “university”.

You earn coins with every activity, which can then be redeemed at rewards partners like Takealot, Superbalist, Dis-Chem, Uber, Mr D, Mr Price Home, Nu Metro, Sorbet, and Exclusive Books.

But the Republic of Savvy isn’t just a good time – it’s also designed to help new members navigate the world of medical aid.

Knowing that most flexiFED^Savvy members are new to the system, Fedhealth created interactive activities to help inexperienced members better understand the mechanics of medical aid, and how to get the most out of it. 

Perfect for individuals and corporates

With talented youngsters increasingly demanding more value from their employers, flexiFED^Savvy presents both SMEs and bigger corporates with an affordable way to attract and retain new talent by offering quality medical aid that won’t bend the bottom line.

What’s more, due to Fedhealth’s flexible product design, it can be tailored-made with customisable day-to-day savings according to every business’ needs and budget.
