Does Medical Insurance cover HIV medication?

Get Medical Insurance gives HIV positive South Africans access to unlimited HIV medication. We have the perfect Medical Insurance solution for your needs.

How much is HIV medication?

In South Africa, you can get HIV medication through the public or private healthcare system. If you choose to get your HIV medication from a private doctor or private clinic, you will have to pay for them yourself. Your Medical Aid or Medical Insurance should cover a portion of the cost.

The cost of HIV medication can vary depending on various factors, including:

The type of medication.
The dosage.
The length of treatment.

HIV medication can be expensive. This is especially true if your plan doesn't cover the medication you need. Luckily, Medical Insurance from Get Medical Insurance covers your HIV medicine.
