The following information provides an overview of the Health Platform Benefit.

The Health Platform Benefits are specifically designed to be readily available to all participants of the Momentum Medical Scheme, ensuring that the associated costs are completely covered by the Scheme. These benefits serve a variety of essential functions: they not only promote health awareness among members but also significantly enhance their overall quality of life. Furthermore, these benefits offer peace of mind through a wide array of preventative care services. This comprehensive approach includes the early detection of potential health issues, a thorough maternity program that supports expecting mothers, and an emphasis on health education and advice that empowers members to make well-informed decisions regarding their health. It is crucial to understand that while the majority of Health Platform Benefits can be accessed without the need for prior notification, there are certain specific services that do require pre-notification. Such services encompass dental consultations, pap smears, general physical examinations, and HIV tests. If you find yourself in a situation where pre-notification is necessary, rest assured that the process is designed to be both quick and straightforward. You can easily complete this process through the Momentum App, take advantage of the web chat facility, or log in to the official website at momentummedicalscheme.co.za. Additionally, you have the convenience of reaching out via WhatsApp or by calling 0860 11 78 59 for any assistance you may need. It is also important to note that for members enrolled in the Ingwe Option, the Health Platform Benefits must be accessed through your chosen Network provider. However, there are exceptions for certain services such as health assessments, benefits related to the maternity program, and baby immunizations, which can be obtained from any healthcare provider. In these cases, coverage is available up to R2,800 during the baby's first year of life.
