Restricted medical schemes offer unique benefits to their members, but managing these schemes effectively requires specialized knowledge and dedicated attention. Many restricted schemes are overseen by trustees who, while committed to their role, are often company owners or employees with primary responsibilities outside of scheme management. This is where Medi Call’s expertise as independent scheme managers can make a significant difference.
Trustees of restricted medical schemes typically face several challenges:
Limited Expertise: Medical aid is a complex field requiring in-depth knowledge of healthcare, finance, and regulations.
Time Constraints: Trustees often balance their scheme responsibilities with full-time jobs, limiting their ability to focus on scheme management.
Rapidly Changing Landscape: The healthcare industry is constantly evolving, making it difficult for part-time trustees to stay current.
Potential Conflicts of Interest: When trustees are also company employees or owners, it can be challenging to balance scheme interests with business concerns.
