Bonitas Medical Scheme announced that it is ending itslong-running (40 years) administration relationship with Medscheme. – Business Day (30 Jan 2026)
Momentum Health and Private Health Administrators (PHA) have been appointed as the scheme’s new administrators that will split the work.
The changes cover all Bonitas options except Boncap, its low-income option.
Bonitas, one of Medscheme’s core clients, has more than 374,000 principal members and roughly 750,000 beneficiaries.
“The timing is politically and legally charged. The Council for Medical Schemes (CMS) has launched a forensic investigation into alleged procurement issues related to the appointment of PHA to administer Boncap. Medscheme previously sought to prevent Bonitas from proceeding with the tender process while the probe is ongoing.”
