What we do
We are more than an administrator, we are a strategic partner.
At the heart of our business lies a simple but powerful purpose: More health for more people for less. It’s not just a slogan – it drives every interaction, every decision and every innovation. It is our “why” – our clients, and in fact, all South Africans are at the heart of this purpose. We believe this is vital not only for sustainability of our healthcare system, but for the wellbeing of every individual, medical scheme and the broader South African healthcare landscape.
Our purpose guides our holistic approach to offering integrated scheme administration and managed care and coupled with complementary products that incentivise and reward healthy behaviour along with workplace health and wellness solutions geared towards supporting employers and employees enjoy better outcomes.
Our solutions are flexible, scalable and personalised. Our strength lies in how we combine our solutions to find the best fit to meet our clients’ needs.
Ultimately everything we do is about our members and having their best interests at heart. We provide members with access to affordable networks of healthcare providers that deliver quality care. Be it access to Hello Doctor, our 24 hour medical advice line, or our contracted doctor networks incentivised to deliver quality care, members are assured of convenient choice.
Our approach is to empower individuals who choose to take ownership of their health journey by placing them at the centre of all decision-making, giving equal consideration to quality of care, cost of care and access to care.
Our actuarial services support the design and pricing of sustainable benefits linked to incentive and rewards programmes that equip members to live a quality life, with purpose and with confidence in their health journey.
Our solutions connect the needs of the employer with the aspirations of the medical scheme by integrating occupational health and workplace wellness services with the medical scheme disease management capability and by offering insights into risk and engagement levers that protect the bottom line. Additionally, our niche occupational hygiene unit provides employers with tangible surveillance and health and safety compliance solutions.

As an organisation who understands the healthcare landscape on local and global scales, Momentum Health aims to partner with medical schemes and employers in facing not only healthcare industry challenges, but also socio-economic challenges associated with healthcare provision in South Africa.
Our aim is to provide health solutions for the future which achieve two goals;
- manage the health risks of the ageing membership, and probably more importantly,
- create solutions that attract younger members into the market.
