Sound familiar?
SA healthcare is broken by design
Prescription roulette
Your doctor faxes a script. The pharmacy can't read it. You drive back. The medication is out of stock. You repeat this next month.
Medical aid chaos
Submit a claim. Wait 30 days. Get a letter asking for more documents. Submit again. The benefit year resets. Start over.
Referral black holes
Your GP refers you to a specialist. You're handed a piece of paper with a number. You call. They're fully booked. You forget. Nothing happens.
ELMED fixes all of this. One login. Every provider. Zero paperwork.
