Ever wished you could just sign up for medical aid anytime during the month? Or better yet, that you could just be covered right away?
Effectively, what you are looking for is next-level medical aid, and CompCare is here to deliver. We’re cutting through the red tape and bringing faster, tech-forward healthcare that syncs perfectly with your lifestyle. And before you even start to ask, no – there’s no need to compromise on your medical aid membership. Want to know how we do it?
OK – we’ll level with you. Industry regulations make it tricky to shake things up completely. We’re not promising the silver bullet of healthcare cover here, but we are promising a transformative shift into a movement you will want to be part of.
You heard it here first
First up, at CompCare, it is all about choice and always putting your needs first. It therefore stands to reason that we would be the first to break new ground in the South African medical scheme industry to offer our members unparalleled flexibility. Now, you can join CompCare at any time you choose without the hassle of waiting until the first day of the following month. This puts both choice and flexibility in your hands, allowing you to join the scheme when it works best for you.
Better benefit structures
CompCare has long been known for being the market leader in wellness and preventative care benefits, and we’re not about to hand that title over to anyone else. Our new offerings feature R12 000 to R15 000 in wellness and preventative benefits per member, plus a Care Maximiser providing additional value of between R15 000 and R26 000, depending on your chosen option. This means we are delivering value that is truly hard to beat. And, of course, our competitively priced options deliver the tangible value you would expect from your medical scheme, such as comprehensive in- and out-of-hospital cover, trusted mental health benefits, at-home healthcare access, day-to-day benefits and exceptional maternity benefits, among others.
What’s it going to cost me?
We offer options to suit individual needs. For example, our SelfCare Plus and SaverCare Plus options are leaders in hybrid savings options for members seeking optimal flexibility and cover choices. If you work for or are starting up an SMME, we also offer tailored solutions for employers.
Making the digital difference
You run your whole life on your phone (pretty much), and we get that. It’s a no-brainer that something as important as managing your health and wellness should happen there too. Sure, the member app makes it easier to manage all your medical scheme information, but we’re talking about something much bigger. The Universal.one App for CompCare members offers revolutionary functionalities to support you in keeping your health and wellness on autopilot.
With uWellness™ you can take your holistic health and wellness to the next level. This evidence-based tool quite simply does the best possible job of supporting all eight dimensions of your wellbeing –emotional, physical, intellectual, social, occupational, financial, spiritual, and environmental – in one central application.
The app offers evidence-based wellness surveys, health calculators, validated guides, a mood checker, daily tips, easy-to-follow diet plans and rewards partner access. It provides real-time feedback, tracks progress, and integrates with wearable devices.
In addition, the Universal.one App for CompCare members securely connects you with healthcare professionals for online consultations via uConsult™ and offers uChat, an online nurse advice chat line, whenever you need sound healthcare advice.
Getting our AI act together
We are super excited about this next development. CompCare is introducing a health and wellness measurement app, uHealthCheck, to our members in 2025 that uses visual data gathered from a 30-second selfie video to analyse blood flow based on the reflection of light with the help of artificial intelligence. This takes the meaning of home-based healthcare to an entirely new level and opens the doors for remote healthcare management, it is a gamechanger.
CompCare members can also use the Universal.one App to access SARAH, the World Health Organization’s Smart AI Resource Assistant for Health, which uses generative AI to assist people in leading healthier lives. SARAH has been developed and trained with information from the World Health Organization and trusted partners to answer health-related questions, guiding users toward better health decisions.
You may be one of many who find these groundbreaking new technologies invaluable in streamlining access to healthcare knowledge. While professional clinical advice remains essential, we strongly recommend that you carefully review the important information provided with these services to ensure you make the most informed decisions.
Cards on the table
We are proud of what we are achieving for our members despite industry pressures and unprecedented changes in the global market, which have necessitated an average weighted increase of 11% for principal members and 13% for beneficiaries in 2025. We have also found ways to include value-added products and services at no additional cost to our members, ensuring that as your medical aid, we can deliver the level of service you would expect in this day and age, both digitally and in real life.
At CompCare, we are dedicated to caring for our members and transforming your health and wellness journey. As we continually evolve and push the boundaries of what healthcare cover can offer, we are redefining the experience for you. So, if ever you need another reason to sign up for medical aid – we believe our commitment to innovation and member care is it.
