  • Available for free to all Momentum Medical Scheme members.

What does the Health Platform Benefit cover?

It covers several items listed below, most notably early detection tests that can help doctors find diseases early. The earlier a disease is found, the easier it is to treat and possibly reverse.

Preventative screening is one of the most important things you can do for your health. We encourage you to take care of your health and well-being by going for screening tests and keeping track of your health status at no extra cost.
