Healthcare costs in Zambia continue to rise, and a single medical emergency can deplete years of savings. Whether you're an individual seeking peace of mind or a business looking to provide employee benefits, comprehensive medical insurance is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity.

Why Medical Insurance Matters

Imagine facing a medical emergency—an unexpected surgery, a serious illness, or an accident requiring extended hospital care. Without insurance, you're looking at bills that could run into tens of thousands of Kwacha. Medical insurance transfers this financial risk from you to the insurer, giving you access to quality healthcare when you need it most.

Healthcare shouldn't be a financial burden. With the right medical insurance, you can focus on recovery instead of worrying about costs.

Beyond emergencies, medical insurance also covers routine care—consultations, prescribed medications, lab tests, and preventive screenings. This proactive approach helps detect health issues early, often preventing more serious and costly conditions down the line.

Coverage Options Explained

Our all-in-one medical insurance plans are designed to provide comprehensive protection. Here's what's typically included:

OUTPATIENT CARE

Doctor consultations, prescribed medications, diagnostic tests, and minor procedures without hospital admission.

INPATIENT CARE

Hospital admission, surgeries, ICU care, accommodation, nursing care, and in-hospital medications.

DENTAL CARE

Routine dental check-ups, cleanings, fillings, extractions, and other dental procedures.

OPTICAL CARE

Eye examinations, prescription glasses, contact lenses, and treatment for eye conditions.

Individual vs Group Plans

Medical insurance comes in two main forms, each suited to different needs:

Feature Individual Plans Group Plans
Best For Self-employed, families Businesses, organizations
Premium Cost Higher per person Lower due to group discounts
Customization Highly customizable Standardized with options
Medical Underwriting Required Often waived for groups

For businesses, group medical insurance is more than an employee benefit—it's a strategic investment. Companies that offer health coverage attract better talent, reduce absenteeism, and build a healthier, more productive workforce.

What to Look For in a Plan

Not all medical insurance plans are created equal. Here are the key factors to consider when choosing coverage:

  • 1

    Coverage Limits

    Check annual and per-incident limits. Higher limits mean better protection for major medical events.

  • 2

    Hospital Network

    Ensure your preferred hospitals and doctors are within the insurer's network for cashless treatment.

  • 3

    Waiting Periods

    Understand waiting periods for pre-existing conditions and specific treatments.

  • 4

    Exclusions

    Know what's not covered—cosmetic procedures, experimental treatments, and self-inflicted injuries are common exclusions.

The Claims Process

When you need to use your medical insurance, the process should be straightforward. Here's how it typically works:

01

Pre-Authorization

For planned treatments, contact the insurer for pre-approval to ensure coverage.

02

Treatment

Present your insurance card at network hospitals for cashless treatment, or pay and claim reimbursement later.

03

Documentation

Keep all receipts, prescriptions, and medical reports for your records and claims.

04

Settlement

For reimbursement claims, submit documents within the specified timeframe for processing.
