Professional Fees
Dr Korb's practice is a private practice. Our fees may exceed your insured benefits. Please ensure that your account for services in the rooms is settled on the day of the consultation. Hospital accounts must be settled within 30 days of issue.
The practice charges for all professional services at predetermined private rates for all in and out of hospital claims. The practice is contracted to most major medical schemes. You will be required to settle the full amount for services in the rooms on the day of the consultation and will have to claim back from the medical scheme yourself. If you are on a contracted fund the rate will be charged at the contracted scheme rate, this is available on request. If you are not on a contracted fund or if you are a privately funded patient, the rate will be charged as per the Discovery Health Classic Scheme rate.
Please feel free to request a specific quotation for any consultation or procedure discussed or planned prior to engaging in consultation. No requests for billing changes will be considered after the service has already been provided.
Out of hospital patients are expected to settle accounts in full on the day of the consultation. This can be done with cash / credit card / via EFT. Please note that NO CHEQUES will be accepted.
A detailed account statement including all applicable ICD-10 codes will be issued which the patient can submit to his / her medical aid for reimbursement.
Due to varying benefit designs and limitations by the different medical schemes, it remains the patient’s responsibility to validate his / her insurer with the applicable procedure and tariff codes. Please inform the practice should there be any prerequisites (e.g. formulary medications / preferred provider referrals) which you have to / would like to adhere to as set forth by your medical scheme.
