Why Medical Aid?

No. The plan designed for individual members is the Individual Private Plan.

Yes, you may visit any of our offices and arrange for payment of subscriptions via direct debit from your bank, or cash deposits at these branches. You would still maintain the same membership number.

Waiting periods exist on certain benefits in order to safeguard existing members from high treatment costs brought about by new members who suddenly join medical aid after having found out that they need expensive treatment. If no such waiting periods are in place, this would drive up contributions and disadvantage existing members.

Yes, babies are covered from the day they are born, as long as they are registered within 6 weeks of birth. Parents are encouraged to register their babies as soon as possible to avoid inconveniences when emergencies arise. Once your baby turns 6 weeks before registration, they would have to undergo a four month waiting period should you decide to register them later.

In terms of the Legal Age of Majority Act of 1982 a child who attains the age of eighteen(18) ceases to be a minor. In line with this act, subscriptions for this category of dependants will be charged at adult rate forthwith, unless prior notification is received that he/she is still a student. Such a student will be treated as a child until their 24th birthday.

The First Mutual Health card is widely accepted throughout Zimbabwe. You may also walk into any of our branches for the most up to date list of service providers. As a fund we pay 100% according to Ahfoz tariffs hence one may encounter shortfalls should the service provider charge over and above these tariffs.

We only cover prescription drugs (drugs that cannot be bought without a doctor’s prescription).

Members must be below 60 years old at the time of joining the Fund. However existing members can remain on the Fund for life as long as they are paying contributions.
