Medical

Health care in South Africa is very good. There are a number of excellent private hospitals in Johannesburg and Pretoria that have all the facilities to cater for any type of emergency. There are numerous doctors’ offices located throughout the suburbs and they are easily accessible. Much of the equipment used by doctors in South Africa is state of the art, and most doctors’ offices are very well equipped. The school pays 100% of the contribution towards worldwide medical coverage. The medical policy is through the Scholars Health Insurance Program and provides 100% coverage outside the U.S. and Canada, 100% inside the U.S. if you use the First Health Network of Physicians and Hospitals, and 80% if you choose to go outside the network in the United States. A Certificate of Coverage from your current medical insurer is required to be submitted to Scholars to avoid any pre-existing conditions penalties or waiting periods being applied. The Certificate of Coverage should include children where applicable. Coverage includes basic dental, but not vision. You pay for doctors’ bills at the time of service, and then a claim form with attached receipts is submitted to HTH Worldwide for processing and reimbursement. We are happy to say that our service from HTH have been exceptional.
