PAYMENT

Medical Aid

Medical Aid patients are to familiarise themselves with their medical scheme's/insurer's benefits and available funds before admission. Patients are to provide the confirmation/pre-authorisation number obtained from their scheme on their pre-admission form. The account remains the patient’s responsibility and is payable within 30 days of discharge.

Private paying patients

A pre-payment covering the estimated cost of the procedure/service is required on admission. Should the account exceed this amount, the patient may be required to make further interim payments. The estimated amount is not a quote as there are variables that may influence the final amount. Every effort will be made to finalise the account on discharge. A waiting period of 30 to 60 minutes may be expected. If discharge takes place over a weekend or after hours, the final account will be posted to the guarantor of the account on the next working day. The account is payable upon receipt. If the deposit exceeds the final billed account, a refund will be issued to the patient from Head Office in Stellenbosch within 25 days of discharge, depending on the method of payment.
