Be smart about what you believe!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Every now and again, a medical aid option will pop up claiming to be the most affordable option for young professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fact is, for the past two years and counting, that crown has belonged to flex<strong>iFED<sup>Savvy<\/sup><\/strong>, which is truly South Africa\u2019s most affordable medical aid option for the digitally savvy generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a

rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">For more information on flexiFED<sup>Savvy<\/sup> , click here.<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At just R1055 per month for a main member in 2025, flexi<strong>FED<sup>Savvy<\/sup><\/strong> 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The option is optimised for the digital lifestyle this generation prefers\u2026 without a single piece of paper or call centre in sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customisation = affordability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fedhealth\u2019s entire flexi<strong>FED<\/strong> product line-up is built on the pillars of affordability, flexibility, customisation and control, and flexi<strong>FED<sup>Savvy<\/sup><\/strong> is no different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, you can choose to structure your option in one of three ways \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that is not where the flexibility of flexi<strong>FED<sup>Savvy<\/sup><\/strong> ends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you should take up flexi<strong>FED<sup>Savvy<\/sup><\/strong> 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best of all, you don\u2019t have to pay for the total day-to-day savings allowance made available to you; you only pay for what you actually use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach to flexible day-to-day savings is unique to Fedhealth and gives you ultimate control over what you spend on medical aid. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why pay more for \u201cwhat if\u201d?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 \u201cjust in case\u201d something happens down the line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can pay for the option you require right now\u2026 safe in the knowledge that you can choose a more expensive option later, should you ever need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fedhealth\u2019s unique benefits stretch day-to-day savings further<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>flexi<strong>FED<sup>Savvy<\/sup><\/strong> includes Fedhealth\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the fact that flexi<strong>FED<sup>Savvy<\/sup><\/strong>does cost less than any competing option, these unique benefits further illustrate the importance of distinguishing between \u201caffordable\u201d and \u201ccheap\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Welcome to the Republic of Savvy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond great pricing and benefits, flexi<strong>FED<sup>Savvy<\/sup><\/strong> members also get exclusive access to the Republic of Savvy \u2013 an exclusive online entertainment and rewards platform packed with fun and prizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, \u201cSavillians\u201d can unwind and score rewards daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spin the big wheel for daily lucky draws, play mobile games, or learn about medical aid through the Republic\u2019s \u201cuniversity\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the Republic of Savvy isn\u2019t just a good time \u2013 it\u2019s also designed to help new members navigate the world of medical aid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing that most flexi<strong>FED<sup>Savvy<\/sup><\/strong> 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perfect for individuals and corporates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With talented youngsters increasingly demanding more value from their employers, flexi<strong>FED<sup>Savvy<\/sup><\/strong> presents both SMEs and bigger corporates with an affordable way to attract and retain new talent by offering quality medical aid that won\u2019t bend the bottom line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s more, due to Fedhealth\u2019s flexible product design, it can be tailored-made with customisable day-to-day savings according to every business\u2019 needs and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a
