Can I get medical aid if I’m not working?
Fortunately hospital plans either in the form of a medical aid or hospital cash back plan do not discriminate based on your employment status. In other words any person can have a hospital plan even if they are unemployed.
Can I put my grandchild on my medical aid?
Generally grandchildren can only be added if they have been legally adopted by the grandparents, or a court has granted guardianship to the grandparents.
