Preauthorisation is the process during which a service provider seeks confirmation and authorisation from the fund with regards to the availability of a member’s medical aid cover for a specific treatment, service or procedure.

To process a preauthorisation request, the fund requires the following:

  • Detailed quotation
  • Name of the patient
  • Medical aid number
  • Doctor’s name and practice number
  • Hospital name and practice number
  • ICD10 codes (diagnoses codes)
  • Itemised procedure codes
  • Cost per procedure (add codes)
  • Date of admission

Upon receipt of all the required documents, the member/provider will be notified of the status of the member’s benefits and their associated coverage.

Claim Reimbursement Process

What is a claim?

It is financial reimbursement made to you or your service provider for medical services rendered. You may claim for reimbursement if you paid for your own treatment. Payment will be made in line with scheme rules and applicable tariffs. Submit your claims within 4 months of the treatment or service.

You have a choice of where to obtain medical services (locally, regionally and internationally) in line with your health plan.
