Benefits of having HealthSaver
HealthSaver is seamlessly integrated with Momentum Medical Scheme, which makes it the most convenient way to pay for medical treatments and procedures, not covered by your medical aid option.
Earn up to 10% in HealthSaver rewards or pay 0% penalties on credit
Earn HealthSaver rewards on your positive HealthSaver balance, and pay as little as 0% penalties on credit, based on your Healthy Heart Score and the result of your fitness assessment.
Receive up to R1 000 in HealthReturns a month
You don’t have to pay money into your HealthSaver - it could simply be the savings account where you receive your HealthReturns+, an incentive programme that rewards you for taking ownership of
your health.
Access funds with the
HealthSaver card
Your shopping experience just got much faster with the HealthSaver card. You can use your card at a healthcare provider, pharmacy or even a vet in South Africa to access the funds in your HealthSaver+ account.
How to calculate your interest
If you use the credit facility, we charge you a penalty of prime plus 6%. The rate that we charge will change if the prime interest rate changes. As the principal member, your Healthy Heart Score and fitness assessment result can reduce the penalty you pay on credit to 0% - that’s right, you can borrow the money for free! Or your Healthy Heart Score and fitness assessment result could help you earn up to 10% in HealthSaver rewards on any contributions that you choose to make into your Momentum HealthSaver account.
