Yes. Membership of Genesis is open to any person who is a citizen of South Africa or permanently residing in South Africa.
Foreign students wishing to study in South Africa and who wish to apply for membership in order to get a visa, are not eligible for membership of the Scheme.
Are my contributions based on my monthly salary?
No. Contributions are not based on monthly salary bands. Depending on the selected benefit option, all adult members pay the same monthly contribution.
Is Genesis a Company registered in terms of the Companies Act?

Can any person belong to Genesis?
Yes. Membership of Genesis is open to any person who is a citizen of South Africa or permanently residing in South Africa.
Foreign students wishing to study in South Africa and who wish to apply for membership in order to get a visa, are not eligible for membership of the Scheme.
Is Genesis a new generation scheme?
Yes. A new generation scheme differs from a traditional scheme in that the scheme is primarily concerned with the costs associated with in-hospital treatment and procedures. Most out-of-hospital medical costs are paid from your day-to-day credit facility via a Self Managed Fund (SMF).
Essentially out-of-hospital costs are for your account and the Scheme merely provides the credit facility and administers the claims on your behalf.
As a member of a new generation scheme, you are responsible for managing most of your out-of-hospital costs, while the Scheme provides for the higher costs associated with hospital care.
Who provides financial backing for Genesis?
The Medical Schemes Act prevents a medical scheme from borrowing money. It follows that no medical scheme has financial backing. The success of a scheme is dependent on various factors, including the structure of its benefits, pricing of its premiums, management of its day-to-day activities, the risk of its members and its solvency reserves.
All medical schemes maintain a pool of funds that is used to pay claims. The success of any scheme lies in the ability of a scheme to maintain that pool of funds at a level that is sufficient for its members’ claims; hence the solvency requirements of a scheme as required by the Medical Schemes Act.
