Tips to maximise your benefits

1. Know your plan details – Each medical scheme has different benefit structures. Check your plan's hospital cover, day-to-day benefits and dental coverage.

2. Use preferred providers – Visiting an Intercare facility that is a preferred provider for your scheme ensures lower costs.

3. Schedule preventative check-ups – Many medical schemes cover routine check-ups for dental and medical care, helping you avoid costly health issues later.

4. Leverage HealthBeat reminders – Stay on top of appointments and health screenings by signing up for HealthBeat.

5. Understand co-payments – While many services are covered at medical scheme rates, some treatments may require out-of-pocket contributions.

How medical scheme rates and billing transparency help you plan your healthcare expenses

What are medical scheme rates?

Medical scheme rates are the pre-agreed tariffs that medical aid providers reimburse for healthcare services. Intercare charges these rates for medical and dental services, ensuring affordability and transparency for patients.

How Intercare ensures transparent billing

1. No co-payments for essential check-ups  Most Intercare facilities charge medical scheme rates only for routine dental and medical consultations, subject to available benefits.

2. Reduced rates for non-network members  Some Intercare Dental Centres offer reduced dental rates to make dental care more affordable if your scheme is not a preferred provider.

Why it matters to you

1. Predictable costs – Avoid surprise bills by visiting a provider that charges medical scheme rates.

2. More straightforward claims process – Direct billing with medical schemes makes reimbursement straightforward.

3. Comprehensive care – Intercare ensures a seamless healthcare experience, from general check-ups to specialist referrals.
