KeyHealth Medical Scheme Membership Card :

** Choosing a medical scheme is almost always a complicated task.
** Medical jargon, a wide variety of schemes, and an even wider range of benefit options that make it extremely difficult to find the right one for you.

Membership Service :
Broker Network :
** Medical scheme brokers are playing an increasingly important role as intermediaries between the medical scheme and its members.
** The Medical Schemes Act (131 of 1998) has allowed for the entry of brokers into the market.
** This created a “buffer” for members in their interaction with their medical scheme, therefore enhancing their service experience.**

Via E-mail (Webmail) :
** Webmail is an e-mail based interface enabling Members to access their Scheme information, without having to phone the Client Service Centre.
** The Member can activate a webmail by e-mailing the Scheme at webmail AT keyhealthmedical.co.za; no details are required in the subject field or the body of the mail.

** The e-mail address of the Member will be authenticated against the e-mail address loaded onto the system.

** If the Member’s e-mail address is not registered onto the system or if there is more than one Member using the same e-mail address, the user will receive a response, informing him/her that the Scheme is unable to authenticate this e-mail address and is therefore unable to generate the webmail.

** If the Member’s e-mail address is authenticated, the system will e-mail a complete ‘package’ of information.

This package includes :
** Membership details;
** Case History;
** Claims History
** Benefits;
** Contributions.

Via SMS :
** Members have access to useful information 24 hours a day by sending an SMS to 32899.

The different options are as follows :
** Send an SMS with the letter B as the message – receive an SMS with the Member’s current benefits available.

** Send an SMS with the letter C as the message – receive an e-mail with the Member’s latest claims.
** Send an SMS with the letter D as the message – receive an SMS with the Member’s current membership details.

** Send an SMS with the letters IC and the relevant ICD-10 code as the message – receive an SMS with the ICD-10 code description details.
** The Member should receive a reply within minutes, provided his/her current mobile number is available on the Scheme’s administrative system.

** Contact the Client Service Centre on 0860 671 050 to update personal details (Mondays to Fridays between 07:30 and 18:00, and Saturdays between 08:00 and 12:00, public holidays excluded).

Online Chat Facility :

** Online Chat (Live Support) is a web service that allows Members and Providers to communicate with or chat to a Client Service Consultant in real time.

** The real-time nature of the chat experience can help ease user frustration by not having to phone the Client Service Call Centre and to wait for the next available Consultant, and unlike e-mail support, it is a medium for more immediate responses as Members will be able to communicate with a Consultant in real time.

** As soon as the conversation is terminated, the Member will receive a transcript of the chat conversation via e-mail.

** The Online Chat function will not replace any of the current communication methods used by the Scheme.
** It is merely an additional communication method implemented to further enhance the Members’ KeyHealth service experience.

** The Online Chat facility is available every Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 16:00, and between 19:00 and 21:00 in the evening, excluding public holidays, and can be accessed from the home page of the Scheme’s website (.keyhealthmedical.co.za).
