How does my Scheme work?

Medical schemes in South Africa are not-for-profit organisations. The contributions are collected and pooled for the benefit of the members and used to reimburse all relevant medical services purchased by members and to pay administration costs. Any surplus made remains in the Scheme. No profit will be distributed.

Who owns my Scheme?

A medical scheme works like a trust fund and, by law, belongs to its members

Day-to-day Operations

Some medical schemes are self-administered, while some appoint an external medical scheme administrator to collect contributions, pay claims to members, doctors and other registered service providers on behalf of the Scheme and to keep all data up to date.

Anglo Medical Scheme appointed Discovery Health (Pty) Ltd. as the Administrator for the Standard Care Plan and Managed Care Plan. Our Value Care Plan members receive healthcare services through Prime Cure's network providers.

The Trustees are accountable to the members regarding any aspect of the management of the business of the Scheme. The Principal Officer is accountable to the Board of Trustees for the day-to-day management of the Scheme.

Participating Employers

Anglo Medical Scheme is a restricted scheme for employees of participating employer groups
The Anglo American Corporation Medical Scheme was first registered as a restricted scheme in 1968, and in 2005 the name was changed to Anglo Medical Scheme. It was established for the benefit of employees of Anglo American and its associated businesses in South Africa.

At this stage companies such as African Realty Trust, Boart Longyear, Boschedal, De Beers, JCI, Mondi, Namakwa Sands and Vereeniging Refractories, to mention a few, were all owned by Anglo American. In some instances, companies have since been sold and others have changed their names. For example, Mondi Packaging is now Mpact Limited.

Participating employer:

A company incorporated and registered in terms of the laws of South African ("South African company"), which is either a subsidiary or an associated company of AASA (Anglo American South Africa); or
Any South African company which is recognised by the Board as a participating employer, and which has contracted with the Scheme for the admission of its employees and/or retirees and/or registered dependants of its deceased employees or retirees, as members of the Scheme..."
