During the media roundtable seminar on Friday, Moraki Mokgosana, the managing director of BOMAID, stated that for quite some time, their medical aid has been restricting itself to nuclear families covering their spouses and children only.
He expressed that this restriction has since passed its time as people share special bonds with others who depend on them and would like to include them in their medical cover. “We at BOMAID believe that we have to move with the rhythm of life and we have worked on many things that we have improved. “You can now cover your partner even if you guys are not married or the cousins that depend on you. This extends to even your mother-in-law,” Mokgosana said. However, before jumping the gun and rushing to cover the aforementioned people, he reiterated that there are proper channels followed before they are included in the medical aid cover. “As you all know there are terms and conditions to everything and we do have them in this case before you apply. Through an examination you will have to prove that these people depend on you for survival,” Mokgosana said.
