Polmed is a restricted medical scheme in South Africa, which is reserved for employees of the South African Police Services.

Restricted medical schemes are only available to people who work in specific industries, have certain academic qualifications, are employees of a certain company or belong to certain professional associations in South Africa.

The price range data applies to main members only. Contributions for additional adult members are the same as the main member, and contributions for children are significantly less. South African medical schemes are non-profit trusts that their members own. The contributions made by the members are put together and used to pay pertinent medical costs where necessary while keeping a legislated surplus (at least a 25 percent solvency ratio) to prevent the scheme from collapsing. Some medical plans have an option for saving, which creates a collective savings from a member’s monthly payments for personal use.

Conversion date as of April 28, 2025.
