HEALTH AND ACCIDENT INSURANCE BENEFIT ESCALATIONS PUBLISHED
- 30 May 2024
- Financial Sector
- SA Legal Academy
National Treasury and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority have published the 2024 benefit escalations affecting:
health policies regulated under the Long-term Insurance (LTI) Act, 1998, and
accident and health policies regulated under the Short-term Insurance (STI) Act.
This is noting that certain policies have been excluded from the Medical Schemes Act, 1998, since April 2017 – when demarcation regulations under both Acts came into effect. As far as can be ascertained, the escalated benefits came into effect on 1 April 2024.
According to an accompanying joint media statement, the demarcation regulations provide for an automatic annual escalation informed by the Consumer Price Index.
