About
Offering excellent primary care has always been dependent on the relationship between you and your patient's medical scheme.
In 2010 (the latest figures available), medical schemes spent R750 per patient for the year on medical services provided by Primary Care Physicians. In the same period, open medical schemes spent R 1 402 per patient on non health related costs.
With a significant proportion of medical scheme's spending going toward non-medical costs like administration, managed care and broker fees and only a fraction going to Primary Care Physicians, it is time for change.
Healthchoice has been commissioned to orchestrate this change. Healthchoice, a set of primary healthcare network solutions, is aimed at addressing this unacceptable situation. These network solutions will offer care to patients in all income brackets.
- When you sign up to a Healthchoice Network, you are working towards improving and maintaining the independence of Primary Care Physicians in South Africa and ensuring that the delivery of primary care to your patients is achieved efficiently and professionally while significantly decreasing the burden of high costs, red tape and increasing administration.
- Healthchoice's primary goal is to ensure access to care for all South Africans.
- An important secondary goal is to ensure the financial sustainability of independent professional private practise.
It's time to make a Healthchoice. Sign up now for the Healthchoice Network by
