How do I apply and pay for medical aid?
The following application methods are available:
- On-line applications (on the medical scheme’s website) which will give you a confirmation letter immediately if you pay via credit card;
- E-mail international.students@absa.co.za and they will send you the necessary forms and brochures to apply; or
- Apply during registration at the representatives (this should be your last option as it is the process with the longest turnaround time).
The following payment methods are available:
- On-line via credit card
- Internet transfer from your bank account to the scheme’s bank account
- SWIFT transfer (please note turnaround time for confirmation will be 15 working days)
- Deposit at the bank into the schemes account
- Credit/debit card payments during registration on campus
PLEASE NOTE:
No cash will be accepted and NO STUDENT ACCOUNT PAYMENTS FROM 2012 ONWARDS – money has to be paid to the scheme directly and not to the University
