Optical Benefits

The optical benefit offers members enhanced benefits through Preferred Provider Network (PPN), a network of more than 1200 optometrists nationwide. Members on the traditional options may elect to utilise the services of PPN. Details of the providers in the network can be found on the Scheme’s website (www.topmed.co.za) or by contacting PPN on 0860 10 35 29. The enhanced benefits available through PPN are detailed in the Benefit Guide for each option . Should members utilise the services of a non-preferred provider, limit benefits as outlined in the Benefit Guide will be provided (See your relevant option for details).

In addition, members on the New Generation options will be able to obtain an enhanced benefit should they utilise the services of PPN as they will be entitled to reduced pricing based on TopMed’s arrangement with PPN.
