- POLMED: The 2026 member guide we found was on a test server (sandbox.polmed.co.za) with an invalid certificate, not the official site, so it is left out. Check polmed.co.za or call POLMED for 2026 maternity benefits.
- Bestmed: Bestmed’s 2026 comparative guide link now opens an error page, so its maternity details could not be re-checked and are left out. Check bestmed.co.za or call Bestmed.

Questions to ask your scheme
- Does my exact option cover my midwife’s visits and delivery, and at which tariff?
- Is my birth house or home-birth arrangement approved, and what is the transfer cover?
- Which hospitals, doctors and other providers must I use to avoid co-payments?
- Are visit limits shared across antenatal and postnatal care?
- Is my doula, class or lactation consultation paid from risk, savings or my own pocket?
- When must I register for the programme, preauthorise delivery and add my baby?
- Can you confirm the authorisation, waiting periods, exclusions and likely shortfalls in writing?
