Discovery Health Medical Scheme

KeyCare Start Hospital Network

A planned admission anywhere else is not covered at all. You pay the account.

What the scheme says

“These hospitals apply to members on the KeyCare Start Plan. We cover you in full at the agreed rate in your chosen KeyCare Start Network Hospital. If you do not use your chosen hospital for a planned admission, you must pay these claims yourself. Based on your chosen KeyCare Start GP you have access to a KeyCare Start Network Hospital in your region. This does not apply in an emergency.”
