You are in the hands of an excellent and well trained Anaesthetist and his task will be to ensure that your procedure goes ahead without any complications. Private patients in other words, no medical aid or other form of finance is involved the account is payable by you before or on the day of procedure after delivery of a quotation/estimation, please phone us directly for a quotation as quotations/estimations will only be delivered to you personally, please make sure that you obtain the necessary procedure codes, estimated theatre time, ICD10 codes ext. from your surgeon so that we can give you an accurate as possible quotation. If you read this you or a family member has probably been booked for a procedure in hospital in theatre.Your medical aid WILL NOT cover the total amount charged by your anaesthetist. The tariffs are merely to state that we do not have a contract with any medical aid, except Discovery (Classic plan only). The medical schemes will then decide what remuneration rate they will use. A significant portion of Medical Aids do offer 300% (of NHRPL) reimbursement cover for in-hospital treatment. Your medical should be viewed as an insurance cover and the type of package one chooses will dictate what one’s excess will be. All private accounts should be paid on the day of procedure if estimate was requested and given or within 7 days from the procedure date. An estimated time based on an average for the procedure is used when calculating the estimate. Remember Dr Heystek only work at Mediclinic and not for them, he is not on their payrol. The medical aid cover is a contract between member and the medical scheme and NOT between Dr Heystek and Medical Scheme; all medical schemes have different conditions, limits and benefit levels. We strongly advise patients to understand their medical scheme coverage 100%. We do not accept any responsibility for your medical scheme coverage and you remain responsible for payment of all accounts. Medical aids might reimburse members and make payments to members towards Dr Heystek’s account, thus amounts needs to be paid over immediate and full payment to our practice in 24 hours thereafter.
