PathCare Contact Details

PathCare is a South African pathology laboratory group. It publishes different numbers for reception, accounts, quotes and results, and getting the right one first saves a transfer. The contact details below were read from pathcare.co.za on 2 September 2026.

Official contact channels

Note the two different domains. Client enquiries go to pathcare.co.za; accounts go to pathcare.net. Sending a billing query to the .co.za address is a common way to have it re-routed.

One caution on the reception number: PathCare’s contact page displays 021 596 3400, but the underlying click-to-call link on that page points at a different number ending 3800. We have published the displayed number, which also appears separately as the Cape Town reference laboratory line – if a tap-to-dial from their site reaches the wrong desk, dial 021 596 3400 manually.

What this organisation provides

PathCare runs laboratory testing for patients and referring doctors, with separate routes for each:

Results have their own helpdesk, and it is not reception. Cape Town publishes a phone line for results; Gauteng publishes an email helpdesk rather than a number. PathCare also runs a doctors’ portal with a contact-a-pathologist route – that is for referring clinicians discussing a result, not for patients.

Tests and fees are published on the site, along with an online payment facility. Ask for the fee before the test where you can – the quote line exists precisely because pathology costs vary by test and medical schemes do not cover everything in full.

Address and operating information

Head office: Dietrich, Voigt, Mia and Partners, PathCare Business Centre, PathCare Park, Neels Bothma Street, N1 City 7460.

That is an administrative and laboratory address, not where you give a sample. PathCare operates a network of collection depots, found through the Locate a Depot facility on its site – use that rather than travelling to head office.

PathCare practises under partnership names that differ by region, which is why its Gauteng mailboxes carry a different practice name from the Cape Town ones. Both are PathCare.

Support and escalation routes

Raise a billing dispute with accounts on 0860 100 442 in writing, quoting the account and reference numbers and the date of the test. For a query about a result, go through the results helpdesk for your region – but a result must be interpreted by the doctor who requested it, and the laboratory will not give a clinical opinion.

Beyond PathCare, professional conduct by a pathologist or laboratory falls to the Health Professions Council of South Africa. A medical scheme dispute over what was paid goes to the Council for Medical Schemes, free of charge. A billing or service complaint falls under the Consumer Protection Act and can go to the National Consumer Commission, and a complaint about how your health information was handled to the Information Regulator under POPIA – health data carries stricter protection than ordinary personal information.
