What patients with medical aid need to know about being seen at MyFamilyGP.

This is exactly the documentation your scheme needs to assess your claim.
Where your scheme reimburses below our consultation fees, you will be responsible for the shortfall. We will always discuss any anticipated additional costs (pathology, vaccines, procedures, medications) with you before they are incurred.
If you have gap cover or out-of-hospital benefits, your invoice may also be submittable to those. We recommend asking your medical aid in advance.
