An acute hospital with a psychiatric ward
That combination is worth knowing, because it is not the norm. Roseacres has four theatres, a 24 hour accident and emergency unit with a resuscitation room, general and neonatal intensive care, a maternity ward, radiology, and a psychiatric ward on the same site.
Most private psychiatric care in Gauteng happens at dedicated mental health facilities that have no emergency unit at all. Life Glynnview in Benoni is one such: a mental health hospital where an acute crisis has to be stabilised at an emergency unit elsewhere first. Roseacres has both on one site, which matters if someone needs psychiatric admission and may also need emergency assessment.
Clinical disciplines listed include general surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, orthopaedic surgery, paediatrics, neurosurgery, psychiatry and urology, with physiotherapy, occupational therapy, audiology and psychology alongside.
Roseacres is not Rosepark
Life also runs Life Rosepark Hospital in Bloemfontein. Similar name, different province. Give the city when confirming an admission or checking a medical scheme network list.
Before a planned admission
- Get pre-authorisation from your medical scheme before the date. An unauthorised admission is the usual cause of a rejected claim.
- For a psychiatric admission, check the benefit separately. Schemes usually treat mental health under its own limit with a set number of days a year, distinct from general admissions.
- Expect separate accounts. Specialists practising there bill independently of the hospital.
- Bring your identity document, scheme card, authorisation number, referral letter and current medicines in their packaging.
If something goes wrong
- Raise it with the hospital and get a reference number.
- Escalate within Life Healthcare through hospital management.
- Standard of care goes to the Health Ombud on 080 911 6472, which covers private facilities.
- A rejected claim or a psychiatric benefit dispute goes to the Council for Medical Schemes on 086 112 3267.
- A practitioner’s conduct goes to the HPCSA.
