procedure is required.

Points to note about African Unity Life Health Insurance
The benefits of your AUL health insurance policy for hospitalisation can be paid out in
two ways. One is as a lump sum, in which case the amount will be limited to R20,000 per annum. If it will
be paid as a daily benefit, the member or beneficiary will be paid R3,000 for every day they are
hospitalized. There is no limit on the number of days the amount will be
paid.
You can only start enjoying the benefits after a certain waiting period has elapsed.
There is no fixed waiting period with African Unity. It is calculated on a
case-by-case basis taking into account factors such as pre-existing conditions. The waiting period helps
to prevent people getting insurance so as to make quick claims.Without the waiting period the insurer
could suffer a strain on the pool of funds available for settling claims. For this reason you will be
required to disclose information on any pre-existing conditions you may
have.
Also note that the benefits will not be paid directly to the
healthcare provider. AUL operates according to the 2017 Demarcation Regulations. These dictate that the
benefit value be paid to the insured or beneficiary of the policy. The beneficiary can then decide to use
the funds to settle medical bills or other related expenses. This is what distinguishes a medical aid
scheme from health insurance.
