Costs and medical aid

Know where you standbefore you decide.

We work with most medical aids and check your cover for you. Ask us, and a real person will come back to you.

How paying for treatment works

  1. i

    You tell us your medical aid scheme. Just the name, to start. We'll ask for anything else privately.

  2. ii

    We check your cover for you and explain what it's likely to include.

  3. iii

    We handle pre-authorisation with your scheme, where it's needed.

  4. iv

    If you're not on medical aid, or cover is limited, we'll explain our current rates for each stage.

Cover differs between schemes and plans. We'll never promise cover before it's confirmed by your scheme.
