Suremed Health / Medimed: what to confirm before dental treatment
Suremed Health and Medimed are different medical schemes. Suremed lists Challenger, Navigator, Shuttle and Explorer; Medimed lists Alpha, Medisave Essential, Medisave Standard and Medisave Max. Use the scheme and full option name on your membership record.
Suremed’s Explorer and Shuttle use Primary Care Network dental rules, while Navigator and Challenger have different funding structures. Medimed’s Standard and Max use savings followed by an available elective benefit; Essential has a combined dental limit and provider rules, while Alpha reimburses only a portion of scheme tariff. These are not one shared dental benefit.
AIM Dental is at AIM Healthcare Centre in Malanshof, Randburg. Reception can help with a treatment quote; your scheme confirms cover for your option.

Call nowHow it works at our practice
We claim directly from medical aids. Bring your card and option name, ask for a written treatment quote, and confirm current benefits, authorisation requirements and any expected co-payment with your scheme. A benefit check does not guarantee final claim payment; you remain responsible for amounts your scheme does not pay. We quote before we treat. If a network rule applies, ask your scheme to confirm this practice’s eligibility for your option and treatment.
