Seeing a Doctor, With or Without Medical Aid
Most South Africans do not have medical aid, and many who do run out of day-to-day benefits by mid-year. On NuHealth the consultation fee is on the doctor’s profile before you book, so there are no surprises either way.
The fee before you book
Every clinician shows the price of an in-person visit and of a video consultation. You pay securely when you book — by card or instant EFT.
A receipt your scheme can use
Your receipt is kept in your NuHealth records. If your scheme reimburses consultations from savings, submit it to them as you would any doctor’s invoice.
Medical aid on your profile
Record your scheme and membership number once, so a clinician can see it when they need it.

What people ask
Can I see a doctor on NuHealth without medical aid?
Yes. Booking is open to everyone and paid per visit; the fee is shown on each doctor’s profile before you book.
Will my medical aid pay?
That depends on your scheme and plan. You pay the doctor when you book; schemes that reimburse from savings accept the receipt kept in your records.
