Introduction to SAMWUMED
SAMWUMED a Scheme by workers for workers
The South African Municipal Workers Union Medical Scheme (SAMWUMED) is a restricted medical aid scheme that provides cost-efficient, quality healthcare for people employed in local government and its related services. SAMWUMED is self-administered and this, combined with a prudent contribution policy, a focus on the provision of essential healthcare benefits and low overall non-health expenditure, is the key to the Schemes success.

Why choose SAMWUMED to care for your family?

SAMWUMED is the largest restricted medical scheme in local government. This means that more people trust the Scheme to look after their healthcare needs than any other Scheme in the sector. SAMWUMED offers excellent value for money. Its benefits payouts are in line with the contributions paid by its members, while most of its competitors have benefit payouts that are much lower than the contributions they receive. SAMWUMED was started for workers by workers in 1952. The Scheme has a proud history of providing for the specific healthcare needs of its members. SAMWUMED is financially strong. Its solvency ratio has been significantly higher than its competitors since 2001 and well above the 25% minimum requirement set by the Council for Medical Schemes. SAMWUMEDs non-healthcare costs are very low. The Scheme makes sure that the money its members pay is used to provide the best quality healthcare their contributions can buy. The Scheme sees its role not just as a facilitator for healthcare transactions but as a guardian to ensure fairness for its members and a defender of healthcare rights for the whole population. Medical aid members have the right to: Know everything about their condition, ask questions and request more information from their healthcare provider about their illness, the treatment options that are available and long term prognosis. Receive information in easy to understand terms without the use of confusing or technical language. Be aware of all the costs they will be liable for before receiving treatment. Healthcare providers must advise members of the difference between the rates they intend to charge as opposed to the Scheme rate for the same services/procedures/goods. Insist on giving informed consent, having it explained to them within a reasonable time period before a procedure or treatment and without undue pressure to sign documents. To amend indemnity forms that hospitals provide for their signature. Negotiate with a healthcare service provider. Obtain a second opinion and select and alternative provider if they choose to do so. Complain and to receive a formal response to a complaint.
