George hospital price list South Africa

Hospitals are typically required to provide patients with an estimate of the cost of their care upon request, and many hospitals have financial counselors who can help patients understand their insurance coverage and navigate the billing process.

• Is not externally funded, which means that no other fund or entity is required by law to pay their fees.

Patients are classified as single or family units for the purposes of placing them in income categories. A family unit includes a couple, a single parent, or a single person with a dependant. A widow or widower without dependants is a single unit rather than a family unit.

There are four income categories of patients:

• Full subsidisation H0 >Pensioners and the unemployed.

The UPFS Billing Procedure Schedules refer to categories of medical procedure in some instances, for example, for theatre procedures. Every medical procedure is assigned a cost code, A, B, C, D, or E which is a cost code, from A (least expensive) to E (most expensive).

So to find the fee for a particular procedure, you have to know what the cost code is for that procedure. The lists of all the procedures with their cost letter codes are in the Procedures Code Book, Oral Health Code Book. Radiology Code Book, Cosmetic Surgery Code Book and Nuclear Medicine Code Book.

FULL SUBSIDISATION – H0

Patients in this group receive most services free of charge. Patients must provide documentary evidence that they fall into this category. The default classification for someone without an income is H1, not H0. The following patients are categorised as H0:

• Social pensioners who receive the following grants:
  • Old age.
  • Child support.
  • Veterans.
  • Care dependency.
  • Social relief of distress grant.
  • Disability grant.
  • Foster care.
  • Grant-in-aid
  • The formally unemployed, which means persons supported by the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) who can produce a formal document issued by the Department of Labour.

Patients who would normally be H0 patients but who are externally funded for certain treatment, are classified as full-paying, as are patients being treated by a private doctor in a government hospital.

Although patients classified as H0 get various services free of charge, the following are not free of charge for H0 patients:

• Issuing medical reports and X-ray copies, and completion of certificates and forms.
• Cosmetic surgery.
• Contested fatherhood tests (paternity tests).
• Immunisation for foreign travel.

The charges for these items are set out in the UPFS Fee Schedule for subsidised patients.

This is the default group for subsidised patients, which means you are classified as H1 unless there is information available which puts you in another category. Currently, only people with an income of less than R70 000 per year for a single person and R100 000 per year for a family unit fall in this category.

How much an H1 patient has to pay for different kinds of treatment is set out in the UPFS Fee Schedule for subsidised patients.

Remember you will need to refer to the Code Books to find the cost code (A, B, C, D) for medical procedures, as the schedule refers to these codes in setting the fees.

The H1 patient tariffs listed in UPFS Fee Schedule for subsidised patients are all inclusive. An all inclusive fee means that additional services such as X-ray are included in the in-patient or consultation fee with certain exceptions such as Dental Laboratory Items. The aforementioned is indicated on the UPFS Fee Schedule.

The fee for a bed in a ward (in-patient fee) is for every 30 days or part thereof. This means that the fee is the same if you spend 30 days in hospital or less than 30 days.

Currently people with an income of more than R70 000 but less than R250 000 per year for a single person and more than R100 000 but less than R350 000 per year for a family unit fall in this category.

For H2 patients, the fee for a bed in a ward (inpatient fee) is for every 12 hours or part thereof. The tariffs for H2 patients are set out in the UPFS Tariff Schedule for subsidised patients. If you move from one ward type to another eg a general to a high care ward during a 12-hour period, the higher fee applies ie high care ward fees.

DEBT RELIEF

Certain patients maybe eligible to qualify for possible assistance with their unpaid fees. It remains the responsibility of the debtor, in order to be considerate for debt review, to submit the neccesarry documentation to the relevant hospital as required.
