Private, with a public hospital nearby
Panorama is a private hospital, and treatment is billed to you or your medical scheme. There is no means testing and no sliding scale. That matters because Tygerberg Hospital, a large public academic hospital, is close by on 021 938 4911, and the two are easy to conflate when you are in a hurry in the northern suburbs.
- A private emergency unit will assess anyone who arrives, and bill afterwards. You do not need a referral.
- Public care is means-tested under the Uniform Patient Fee Schedule, and entered by clinic referral except in an emergency.
- In a real emergency, do not spend time deciding. Call 10177 and let the dispatcher choose the destination.
Your specialist is not the hospital
This is the single most common reason a call to a private hospital switchboard resolves nothing. Specialists practising at a Mediclinic hospital are generally independent practitioners renting rooms there, not hospital employees.
- Appointments go to the specialist’s rooms, not the hospital. The switchboard can usually tell you which suite a practice is in.
- You will receive separate accounts. The hospital bills for the bed, theatre and nursing; the practitioner bills for their own work. The hospital cannot answer for the doctor’s bill.
- Pre-authorisation comes from your medical scheme, before the admission date. An unauthorised admission is the usual cause of a rejected claim, and the hospital does not authorise on the scheme’s behalf.
Bring your identity document, medical scheme card, pre-authorisation number, referring doctor’s letter and any scans or results, plus a list of your current medicines and doses.
If something goes wrong
- Raise it with the hospital and get a reference number.
- Escalate within Mediclinic through hospital management.
- Standard of care goes to the Health Ombud on 080 911 6472, which covers private hospitals as well as public ones.
- A rejected claim goes to the Council for Medical Schemes on 086 112 3267, after your scheme’s internal dispute process.
- A practitioner’s conduct or billing goes to the HPCSA.
