MSA, PMB, CDLs - Oh my! Medical aid jargon can be confusing, but it doesn't have to be...

Our team is here to help you better understand exactly what your plan covers, how much you will be paying, what you are paying for and whether it is suited to your health and financial needs.

Whether you are reviewing your current cover or exploring a change, start with a conversation.

Send us a private message with your name and contact number, or contact our office to arrange a review. Please keep membership details and medical information out of public comments.

Medical savings running low? Start by understanding how your option works.

On options with a Medical Savings Account (MSA), part of your contribution is allocated to eligible day-to-day expenses. That savings allocation is included in your total monthly contribution payment.

What happens when it runs out depends on your option - Some options offer specific benefits beyond savings; other expenses may need to come from your own pocket.

Let Calypso help you understand your savings allocation and the benefits available on your option before you choose your 2027 cover.

Same medical aid. Different year. Have your needs changed?

A new dependant, a tighter budget, different doctors or changes in how often you claim can all be reasons to review your cover.

Before choosing your 2027 option, consider your monthly budget, day-to-day benefits, hospital and doctor networks, and likely out-of-pocket costs.

A review may confirm that your current option still suits you—or highlight something worth changing.

Contact Calypso to arrange your review.

Your medical aid’s average increase is a starting point. What matters is what your family will actually pay, and what that contribution will cover.

Reported average contribution increases for 2027:

• Bestmed: 7.35%
• Discovery Health Medical Scheme: 8.2%
• Bonitas: 8.7%

Your option and household increase may differ. A lower increase does not automatically mean a lower contribution or better cover for your needs.

Contact Calypso for help understanding your 2027 contribution and benefits.

What keeps your medical aid scheme financially healthy?

It’s all about reserves, and understanding how they work can help you make smarter decisions about your cover.

Medical scheme reserves are not just money in the bank, they’re the financial safety net that ensures:
✔️ your claims are paid on time,
✔️ your benefits stay protected during economic shocks,
✔️ and your scheme can avoid steep price hikes.

Want peace of mind with a scheme that has strong reserves and solid governance? Let Calypso help you explore your options.
No pressure, just practical advice.
