Dear Members
As per Namfisa directive (PI/MAF/DIR/01/2017) dated 15th December 2017, no Medical Aid Fund may pay for gym rebates and selected wellness benefits as from the 15th of December 2017, as these services do not constitute medical services.
In terms of the Medical Aid Fund Act No.23 of 1995, the purpose of a medical aid fund is to provide financial or other assistance to members of the fund and their dependants in defraying expenditure incurred by them in connection with the rendering of any medical service.
- “Medical Service” means any health care treatment of any person, by a person registered in terms of any law, which treatment has as its object as the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of any physical or mental defect, illness or deficiency;
- The giving of advice in relation to any such defect, illness or deficiency;
In order to comply with the directive, the Board of Trustees would like to notify all members that the Gym and I Quit Smoking benefits were discontinued under the Napotel Benefit Offering effective 15 December 2017. Readmore
