Why the practice number matters
Quote 0300000471240 when you check your medical scheme benefit. The practice number is what a scheme uses to identify the provider on a claim, and it lets you confirm in one call whether this practice is in network for your option. A specialist consultation billed out of network is paid at a different rate, and the shortfall is yours.
Getting an appointment
- ENT is a specialist discipline, so most schemes expect a referral from a general practitioner; get it first or the consultation may not be funded
- Kimberley serves a very wide catchment across the Northern Cape, so waiting times for a non-urgent appointment can be long; ask when you book
- Take the referral letter, any previous scans or audiology results, and a list of current medication
- For a child, take the clinic card and the immunisation record as well
Surgery and authorisation
If surgery is proposed, get the procedure codes from the rooms and phone your scheme for pre-authorisation before the date. Ask specifically whether the surgeon, the anaesthetist and the hospital are each in network, because they bill separately and any one of them being out of network creates a shortfall you will not see until the accounts arrive. Write down the authorisation number.
Complaints
- Raise a billing or service concern with the rooms first on 053 838 0404 and ask for an itemised account
- Doctors are registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa, which handles complaints about professional conduct
- For a scheme payment dispute rather than a clinical one, the Council for Medical Schemes is the correct office
