Since 2004, there is no recommended fixed tariff for medical services. Doctors can charge professional fees they can justify, while medical schemes determine their own benefit payment levels.
A "National Reference Price list" exists but is not mandatory. Patients may be responsible for additional payments beyond medical aid coverage.
"What has not changed is our commitment to render a quality health care service."
