What Bonitas means to me
We received an overwhelming response to our Comrades Marathon competition published in the previous edition where we asked members to tell us what Bonitas means to you . We are happy to share the winning letter from Sean Blom , who won a pair of New Balance running shoes , as well as other meaningful letters received .
Bonitas gives peace of mind
I am one of those members that didn ’ t really have a choice in joining Bonitas as I was a member of Liberty Medical Scheme for many years before they amalgamated with Bonitas in January 2017 . As we were already pregnant at the time of all this going down , we couldn ’ t really move to any other scheme , since they would not cover the birth of my child .
At first we were afraid that there might be some issues on the payment if we move over to Bonitas , as we only became members in January and our son was to be born on 17 January . Well , let me just say that we worried for no reason at all , Bonitas has already paid all the hospital and doctor ’ s accounts and we are so happy with the friendly service we received up to now . We even received a baby bag with a bunch of goodies for our little one .
Since joining in the beginning of January , we haven ’ t had any issues with any accounts and Bonitas has really blown us away with their great support and service . Bonitas seems to be about the member and giving you what you pay for . They aren ’ t out to make money off you , but rather to deliver a service to the best of their ability and to ensure the member is happy and covered when needed .
I am happy to be part of Bonitas as I have peace of mind that my medical issues will be looked after and that my family gets the best possible cover from a medical aid that looks out for its members , even the ones that have just joined the scheme , without asking any questions , and without hesitation . Quick and friendly service on the mobile app is also something that assists us well . When we have a query it is handled very fast and effectively . Thank you Bonitas for making the stress of medical aid so much lighter .

Being on Bonitas has been life changing
I have seen a medical practitioner I wouldn ’ t normally have been able to see if I wasn ’ t on medical aid . Bonitas has helped me sort out my medical problems and allowed me to lead a more fulfilling , healthier life . I am more active and doing things that I was not able to do before now . Bonitas has changed my life for the better .

Excellent service from Bonitas
I have been a member of Bonitas for a couple of years and the service I received so far has been excellent . The staff is always friendly and knows exactly how to handle any query . Claims have never been an issue whether at a doctor or for an operation . I have the over-the-counter benefit to collect medicine which is a benefit I enjoy . At some stage , my previous employer told me I had to join another medical aid , but I soon discovered it was not the company for me . After a few months and many motivations to the HR department , I was granted permission to move back to Bonitas . I have now added my children onto this medical aid and have managed to convince other colleagues to join Bonitas as well .

More than a medical aid
Bonitas is more than a medical aid . It ’ s an assurance that if my health is affected , I have a source of comfort and information to assist .
