Prepaid access to planned medical procedures now made possible with NetcarePlus
In very difficult economic conditions, South Africans are having to make adjustments that they would not normally have made.
One of the items that are cut from one’s budget is medical aid and often when a medical procedure is required, the uncertainty of the procedure costs becomes a significant barrier for people when seeking healthcare services.
“This lack of clarity can lead to potential long-term health consequences, financial strain, and difficulty in making informed decisions about necessary medical procedures.
Common costs for a medical procedure include medical facility costs, healthcare professional fees, medication related to the procedure, as well as post-procedure care. There are options though that make a surgery that seems out of reach, possible. NetcarePlus Prepaid Procedures provide access to the best and safest surgical care and support at an all-in-one cost, with no hidden fees.
Teshlin Akaloo, managing director of NetcarePlus explains, “our Prepaid Procedures offering enables clients to continue to have quality medical care in the absence of a medical aid plan. In addition, the procedures can also be bought for a loved one, effortlessly.
Our planned procedure options include:
• Eye surgeries for cataract & pterygium removal
• Ear, Nose and Throat surgeries for children younger than 12 years
• General surgeries for umbilical hernia repair, inguinal hernia repair and nail removal
• Gynaecological surgeries for laparoscopic female sterilisation, hysteroscopy without endometrial ablation, hysteroscopy with endometrial ablation, Colposcopy and LLETZ
• Orthopaedic surgeries for Carpal tunnel and Ganglion removal
• Urology surgeries for circumcision and vasectomy.
Most importantly in these difficult economic times, there are no hidden or unexpected costs. You know upfront what the procedure will cost you.”
One of the most unique aspects of our Prepaid Procedures is accessibility to Netcare’s world-class network of medical facilities and staff, in addition to an affordable way to access the medical assistance you require.
“As a Urologist specialising in procedures such as circumcision, I witness firsthand the benefits of NetcarePlus' streamlined approach. It empowers patients and caregivers to make informed healthcare decisions with confidence,” explains renowned specialist urologist and one of our trusted partners in the prepaid procedure network, Dr. Viola Morolo.
Because medical procedures can often come with high costs that may be challenging to pay all at once, access to an interest-free payment plan to break down the total cost into manageable monthly instalments is also available through a payment solution.
“This payment solution aims to alleviate the financial strain associated with medical procedures, enabling our clients to prioritise their health without worrying about the immediate cost in difficult times,” explains Akaloo.
"Our commitment is to make healthcare accessible and affordable," Akaloo concludes. "Through partnerships with leading specialists like Dr. Morolo in our network, we continue to innovate and deliver on that promise."
