How do I apply and pay for medical aid?

The following application methods are available: 

  1. On-line applications (on the medical scheme’s website) which will give you a confirmation letter immediately if you pay via credit card;

  2. E-mail international.students@absa.co.za and they will send you the necessary forms and brochures to apply; or

  3. Apply during registration at the representatives (this should be your last option as it is the process with the longest turnaround time).

 

The following payment methods are available: 

  1. On-line via credit card

  2. Internet transfer from your bank account to the scheme’s bank account

  3. SWIFT transfer (please note turnaround time for confirmation will be 15 working days)

  4. Deposit at the bank into the schemes account

  5. Credit/debit card payments during registration on campus

    PLEASE NOTE: 

    No cash will be accepted and NO STUDENT ACCOUNT PAYMENTS FROM 2012 ONWARDS – money has to be paid to the scheme directly and not to the University.
