💥 In prosthetic care, a single claim can top R270,000 in one year.

📉 With medical aid benefit caps at average R100 000, the gap is pushed to members and insurers.

This creates unpredictable risk and financial strain for medical insurance and members respectively.

📊 Our Medical Insurance Case Study reveals how subscription-based prosthetic care eliminates this risk.

Case study: Buying to Own Versus Renting to Own

The Real Cost of Walking Again
In 2019, a 58-year-old Mr B was fitted with his first prosthetic leg after losing his leg below the knee. Costing him a total of R92,026.

However, 3 years later, life had changed. He’d lost weight, his stump had shrunk, and his old prosthesis no longer fitted properly. A prosthetic refit was done costing him R82,710.65. Overall, in the 5-year prosthetic life span a total cost for prosthetic care was R174,736.65.

Most importantly when buying to own upfront payment is the only way to go. Like many South Africans without full medical aid coverage, such a bill is difficult for many. Hence even those with medical insurance end up with copayments.

What if he had gone for rent to own (Subscription)

Instead of two massive payments, the total cost could have been spread evenly over 60 months (prosthetic life span) at an annual interest rate of 10.5%.

💳 Making a monthly payment: R3,755
📊 Total over 5 years: R225,346.20

Yes, renting to own is expensive long-term, but affordable short term.

Why rent to own changes the Story:
✅ Affordable, predictable monthly cost
✅ Service plan included
✅ Upgrades when your life changes — not after 5 years
✅ One provider looking after you from day one
✅ Fits within most medical aid benefit caps without copayment

The lesson? Prosthetics aren’t just about walking — they’re about living. And the way we pay for them matters.

Is Prosthetic Ownership Really the Best Deal on the Market?

Our recent digital market research uncovered a sobering reality: 97% of amputees cannot afford a prosthetic leg. With below-knee devices priced at R40,000 and above-knee ones reaching R80,000, the dream of mobility remains out of reach for most.

But here's what caught our attention —
👉 38% said they could cover at least half the cost,
👉 58% could manage up to 30%,
showing a clear willingness to pay something toward regaining mobility.

So what's stopping them?

One word: upfront costs. The current model expects full ownership from day one — a steep ask in an economy where flexibility and affordability matter more than ever.

This led us to ask the hard question:
Is the traditional "you buy it, you own it" model still serving people — or is it holding them back?

Maybe it’s time to rethink the deal.
Maybe access shouldn't mean ownership.
Maybe the future of prosthetics is about access over assets.

What do you think — is prosthetic ownership the best we can offer?
