Related / Similar Facility : Imperial Group Medical Scheme
Settling of Claims
** A Member should establish that Healthcare providers charge at Scheme Rate.
** Some Healthcare Providers submit their claims directly to the Medical Aid, while others prefer the patient to pay them directly after the consultation or treatment.
** If payment has been made by the patient, the Scheme shall reimburse the member based on the acceptance of the claim.
** You can scan and e-mail claims to the Scheme or take a photo and e-mail your claim to the Scheme.
** Please make sure the scan or photo is of a good, readable quality.
** The majority of doctors and other service providers (notably large pathology laboratories) submit claims directly to the Scheme using electronic data interchange (EDI).
** This process normally works extremely well and ensures quick, direct payment to the supplier.
** However, it does not absolve the member from the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the account is settled, or for any co-payment that is due.
** Suppliers who submit claims directly to the Scheme are obliged to send duplicate accounts to members to check whether the services and the amounts charged are in fact correct.
** Check your claims statement to verify that the accounts have been paid.
** It could be inconvenient for members when such an account is discovered to be unpaid after the maximum period for the submission of claims has passed.
** Should changes be made to the benefits granted by the Scheme, claims submitted after the changes will be paid according to the rules that existed at the date of the service and not the rules that exist at the date when the claims are submitted or received.
