PG Group Medical Scheme Claims
Settling of Claims :
A member should ensure that healthcare providers charge fees in accordance with the Scheme rates.
Some healthcare providers submit their claims directly to the Scheme, 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.
Claims are assessed for validity using benefit rules. If the claim is valid and the benefits are not depleted, the amount is reimbursed directly to the member’s bank account.
This assessment takes place twice a month; once the assessment is completed, a claims statement is generated and sent to the member either via post or email.
