Discovery Prepaid Health Cover is an exciting Innovation
Discovery Prepaid Health is a fascinating and exciting
concept for every South African who wants access to good medical care. The cover works through voucher
buying.
You get a R300 GP consultation voucher complete with
medicine to treat your illness for 5 to 7 days.
You buy the vouchers and then redeem them for private
healthcare services at a very fair, competitive rate. There is also no limit to the number of vouchers you can buy.
That means you can actually reserve funds in your prepaid balance to use when you need it in the
future.
Make use of network doctors
You can redeem the vouchers at any GP that is found on the
Discovery Prepaid Health Network. The question is, why Prepaid? Are the benefits worth it? Yes, very much so
because now anyone living in South Africa who doesn’t belong to a medical aid can have access to quality private
healthcare.
You have access to a broad network of skilled, experienced
healthcare providers in an area near you. You simply redeem your voucher on the day you see your doctor What is
more, these vouchers are available to buy at more than 350 000 retail outlets countrywide.

or 1ForYou voucher at one of these many retail stores or at a petrol station. You load it using whatsapp
0800337846. You can also buy your voucher by using your debit- or credit card by means of the Prepaid

You can use this Discovery Prepaid Health amount for a GP or
medicine voucher. If you think that this is all it is, more voucher options are coming soon in 2021. These include
the likes of online GP and meds, a pharmacy pack and pharmacy clinic and meds.
No registration fees and free usage of platform
The actual Discovery Prepaid Health Platform is totally free
to use and there are no registration fees. The beauty about these vouchers is that they make a brilliant gift for
someone who could use some good medical care.
To use the vouchers, you upload them to the Prepaid Health
platform. Once it is uploaded you redeem the voucher value at the doctor in the network.
These are primary healthcare consultation vouchers
You aren’t able to use the vouchers for emergency treatments
at a hospital. The vouchers are for primary healthcare consultations and medicine only.
Nonetheless this is good news for people who are without a
healthcare plan but who can now have access to a private doctor and medicines. Having access to good primary
healthcare can help steer one away from a date in hospital.
