Is anaesthesia safe?
Modern anaesthesia is highly advanced and carefully monitored throughout your procedure. Your anaesthetist continuously monitors your breathing, heart function, blood pressure, and oxygen levels to ensure patient safety.
What is gap cover?
Gap cover is additional insurance that helps patients manage the difference between specialist fees and what medical aids may pay.
Why do I have a co-payment?
Some medical aids do not fully cover specialist fees, which may result in a co-payment depending on your medical aid plan and available benefits.
What is a PMB?
PMBs (Prescribed Minimum Benefits) are regulated healthcare benefits that medical aids are required to cover for certain medical conditions and treatments.
