KK says: 20 November 2014 at 9:13 OK, the employer deducts R425.00 off my gross salary and also contributes R425.00 (total amount per month towards the medical plan is R850.00). The employer then keeps the money in a separate bank account that is linked to the organisation for the benefit of employees. Basically it works in the following way: if you fall sick or have a health problem you would go to the doctor of your choice, pay cash for whatever service rendered by the doctor/health care provider/pharmacist etc, keep the receipts and claim back the monies used every second month. |
TaxTim says: 20 November 2014 at 16:51 You cannot claim this as a medical aid contribution as the scheme is not registered. You can claim this amount as out of pocket medical expenses. |
