How to claim it

Claim it at a branch, or on a home kit

The same 10% either way. Most people come in to a branch, but a home kit can save you the trip.

At a branch

Walk in to Observatory, Hillcrest or Parktown North. No appointment needed.

  • Bring an ID that shows you’re 60 or over
  • Choose your tests with our team, or bring a list from your doctor
  • We take 10% off at the till, then you can pay by card, cash or Payflex
  • Results are emailed to you: blood tests in 2 to 5 working days

With a home kit

Sexual health, HPV, UTI and BV kits, posted to you or collected from a branch.

  • WhatsApp a photo of your ID to 072 843 7564 and we apply your 10% to the order
  • Take your sample at home, in about five minutes

Yes. It covers our sexual health, HPV, UTI and BV home kits. WhatsApp a photo of your ID to 072 843 7564 before you order and we apply the 10% for you. Gut health kits are not discounted.
Gut health tests, because the lab costs are much higher, and the R650 call-out fee if a nurse visits you at home. Everything else, including blood, urine, sputum and semen tests, gets the full 10%.
Neither. Walk in to any branch. If you’d rather not wait, book a time online.
The Medication Safety panel checks your liver and kidney function, which matters if you take medication long term. Your doctor may also suggest a thyroid panel or diabetes monitoring.
You pay on the day, and we email you a tax invoice that you can use to claim back from your medical aid yourself.
Yes, on tests over R1,200. We take off your 10% first, then Payflex splits the rest into four interest-free payments over six weeks.
By email, encrypted, as a plain-language report you can take to your doctor. Blood tests take 2 to 5 working days and PCR tests 5 to 7.
In Pretoria, Centurion and Midrand, yes. A nurse visits your home or office for R650 a visit, not per person. WhatsApp 072 843 7564 to book at least two days ahead. Your 10% comes off the tests, not the call-out fee.
