Advice costs you nothing.

We're paid commission by the provider at rates set in regulation, and we disclose it before you sign.

Five things we advise on

Each one has its own adviser, its own paperwork and its own pitfalls. Start where your question is.

Gap cover

Covers the shortfall your medical scheme does not pay in hospital.

You need an active medical scheme membership to take out gap cover.

Waiting periods and annual limits apply. The policy wording governs.

Travel insurance

Medical, cancellation and baggage cover for trips abroad and at home.

Cover must be taken out before you depart.

Pre-existing conditions and high-risk activities may be excluded. The policy wording governs.

Pet insurance

Helps pay vet bills for accidents, illness and routine care.

Age limits apply at sign-up and vary by plan.

Waiting periods and pre-existing condition exclusions apply. The policy wording governs.

Medical aid

Independent advice on which scheme and plan actually suits you.

Open to individuals, families and employer groups.

Scheme rules, waiting periods and late-joiner penalties apply.

Wills and estates

A valid will drafted properly, and help when an estate is wound up.

Anyone over 16 may make a will.

Executor fees and estate costs are set by law and explained before you sign.

Not sure where you fit?

Describe the situation in your own words. We'll point you at the right cover — or tell you that you don't need any.

Ask an adviser

How it works

Three steps, and you can stop at any of them.

  1. 1. Tell us what you need

    A short form or a phone call. No ID numbers, no medical questionnaires on the website.

  2. 2. An adviser calls you

    We call you back within one working day. You get a name and a direct line, not a ticket number.

  3. 3. You decide, in writing

    Options, costs and the commission we earn, set out before you sign anything.

Why go through an adviser at all?

Because the cheapest policy and the right policy are rarely the same one, and you only find out which you bought at claim stage.

How we work
  • We read the exclusions

    Waiting periods, sub-limits and pre-existing condition clauses, translated into plain language before you sign.

  • We stay on at claim stage

    The same adviser helps you submit and follow up, instead of handing you a call-centre number.

  • We compare across providers

    You see more than one option, with the differences that matter to your situation marked.

  • We disclose what we earn

    Commission rates are set in regulation. We tell you the amount before you commit.
