How Often Can You See Your GP with XHealth?
When it comes to GP and specialist visits, what’s covered depends on the XHealth product you choose. Here’s a quick breakdown so you know what to expect on your plan.
MotiveX
- GP visits are covered from your Day-to-day Benefits (Savings).
- 10% of your monthly contribution goes into Savings.
- No fixed number of visits - it depends on your available balance.
NormX
- GP consultations come from XSaver if you’ve opted in.
- If you selected “Aligned” as your chronic provider, using a non-Aligned GP means a 30% co-payment.
GearX
- Unlimited GP visits within the General Rule for Day-to-day Benefits.
- 25% of your contribution goes into Savings.
- After Savings run out, you move into a self-funding gap until you hit your Threshold. Then Extended Cover kicks in.
- Coverage depends on your chronic provider choice:
- Any or State: 100% of Scheme Rate.
- Aligned: 100% at Aligned GP, 70% at non-Aligned GP (plus 30% co-payment for Health Platform visits).
PinnacleX
- GP visits are included in your annual day-to-day limit of R33 000 per beneficiary.
- Paid at 100% of the Scheme Rate.
- Freedom to choose any GP.
GrowX
- 2 virtual GP consultations per beneficiary per year through the GP Virtual Consultation Network (including HeyDoc).
- Covers scripting of medication (up to schedule 4).
- Extra GP visits come from XSaver, if available.
OneX
- Network GPs: Unlimited visits, but from your 11th visit you’ll need pre-authorisation.
- Virtual consultations: 3 per beneficiary per year via HeyDoc (24/7).
- Out-of-network/casualty visits: 1 per beneficiary per year (max 2 per family), with pre-authorisation.
