What We Cover
Doctor Consultations / Visits
You may visit ANY doctor on the Primary Care Network. We also do not place a limit on the number of times you may visit the doctor per year, as long as it is medically necessary.
Medicine Prescribed by the Doctor
Your Primary Care Network doctor can prescribe any medicine from the list of approved medicines. If your doctor is a non-dispensing doctor, he/she will give you a prescription to collect medicine at a pharmacy. You cannot use your card to buy over-the-counter medicine. You can ask your doctor to register you for chronic benefits (26 different conditions), such as diabetes or epilepsy.
Referral to a Specialist for the best care
You may need specialist care and we offer 2 specialist consultations per year, limited to R1 050 per visit. Your Primary Care Network doctor needs to refer you to the specialist and the benefit is subject to pre-authorisation. Psychologists and psychiatrists are limited to Prescribed Minimum Benefits at State facilities. You can use your specialist visits for physiotherapy.
Blood Tests
Your Primary Care Network doctor can send you for blood tests. A specific list of
blood tests applies.
X-rays
We cover you for a list of basic x-rays. Your Primary Care Network doctor can send you for x-rays when you need them.
