What conditions apply to resigning my
membership?
• If you are an employee of a company, where it is a
condition of employment that you are a member of
CAMAF, you may not resign, unless you are resigning
from the employer group.
• If you are eligible as a dependant to become a
member of another scheme through your spouse,
you may resign.
• One calendar month's written notice should be given.
• Any outstanding debt due to the scheme at the time
of resignation must be repaid.
• Back dated resignation is not permitted.
What happens if I retire?
If you retire from your employer on reaching the age of
60 or earlier as a result of ill health or disability you have
the right to remain a member of the scheme. However,
if the firm that you retired from leaves CAMAF, your
membership will also be resigned.
Why should I belong to a medical scheme?
Good health is never guaranteed – no matter your age
or lifestyle. Illnesses, injuries, and unexpected medical
emergencies can affect anyone, often when least
expected. Having medical aid ensures that when life
happens, you have access to quality care without the
financial strain that can come with it. Accidents and
health challenges can be costly, but with the right
medical aid, you have a trusted funder who acts in your
best interest, covering your care when you need it most.
For employers, choosing comprehensive medical aid for
employees is more than a benefit – it's an investment in
their wellbeing, productivity, and peace of mind.
