If this may be an emergency, get help first. Do not wait to check benefits. Call 10177 (ambulance) or 112 from a mobile, or go to the nearest appropriate emergency facility.

The kind of checklist you can expect

Decision brief preview

Going to casualty

  • Get care first if symptoms are severe.
  • Ask if the facility is in-network for your plan.
  • Keep ICD-10 codes, triage notes, and itemised accounts.
  • Check emergency notification and co-payment rules afterwards.

Decision brief preview

Planned scan/procedure

  • Ask whether pre-authorisation is required before booking.
  • Request ICD-10 and procedure/tariff codes from the provider.
  • Confirm network, DSP, and co-payment risks in writing.
  • Keep the quote, referral, and authorisation reference.

What this helps with

  • The right questions to ask your scheme and provider
  • Which codes and documents to request and keep
  • Co-payment, network, and authorisation risks to check
  • Plain-English explainers for the terms that trip people up

What it won’t do

  • Diagnose you or recommend treatment
  • Guarantee a claim outcome
  • Tell you to switch schemes or plans
  • Ask for your ID or membership number

What this MVP cannot do

Always confirm directly

This MVP cannot confirm your personal benefits, balances, authorisation status, provider network status, PMB status, or claim outcome. It does not connect to live scheme systems. Always confirm directly with your medical scheme, healthcare provider, or accredited broker.

New to the terms? Read the plain-English explainers for PMBs, DSPs, ICD-10 codes, authorisation, and claims disputes. You can also review the sources and limitations.

Important: This is general educational guidance to help you navigate your medical aid — not medical, legal, broker, or financial advice, and not a guarantee of any claim outcome. Always confirm benefits, authorisation, and cover directly with your scheme, provider, or an accredited broker.

If you have urgent symptoms, seek medical care immediately. Call 10177 (ambulance) or 112 from a mobile phone.
