Maternity Programme
The Scheme has partnered with Momentum Health Solutions to provide a Maternity Programme to assist and guide you on this remarkable journey.
The Maternity Programme is specifically designed to put the power in your hands, giving you access to support, education, and advice from experts, through all stages of your pregnancy, confinement and even after the baby is born.
Participation is free and offers many benefits.

Preserve hope for the future by banking your baby's stem cells with CryoSave and receive 20% off with Momentum.
Introducing CryoSave South Africa
By preserving your child's stem cells, you could protect their future. As parents, we want to take every precaution to protect the future of our children. CryoSave gives parents the option to invest in their child's future by making use of the special and powerful curative properties of stem cells.
The Scheme is providing our valued members with a 20% discount on this service in collaboration with our Administrator, Momentum Health Solutions.
It takes only a few minutes, and the procedure to collect stem cells is simple and painless when your baby is born. Prior to birth, expecting moms should sign up directly with CryoSave. By doing so, the CryoSave team will be able to prepare and deliver a collection kit to your home. You will take this kit (unopened) with you to hospital on the day of delivery.

Important note: Your Scheme does not cover expenses related to cord stem cell harvesting, testing and storage, because the procedure of banking stem cells is not a TREATMENT for a specific condition, nor is it a Scheme benefit. However, if registered on the Maternity Programme, you may submit the claim to [email protected] to get the 20% discount offered to our members. Please note that members may use their available positive medical savings account (MSA) balance for this service. For alternative payment arrangements, please contact CryoSave directly.
Care Coach
Upon joining the programme, expectant mothers are assigned their own personal care coach. All care coaches are registered nursing sisters with extensive experience and additional qualifications in midwifery. Before and after the birth, they regularly offer their support and guidance.

Scheme Benefits
As part of prescribed minimum benefits (PMBs), the delivery of your baby will be paid from your Scheme benefits. Vaginal (natural) births are paid for in full by the Scheme. Caesarean deliveries are covered as a PMB if there are specific clinical reasons for the procedure. However, we may provide additional benefits beyond the standard PMB provisions.
