SMILE CARE FEE STRUCTURE AND FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS
Dear valued patient,
In November 2003 the competitions commissioner declared all fixed price structures in the medical industry as illegal.
The Council for Medical Schemes (CMS) and the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) were then approached by the Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF) and The South African Dental Association (SADA) to establish a guideline for fees.
These fees were established and the CMS’s reference fees are now known as the National Reference Price List for Medical Aids (NRPL) and the HPCSA’s reference fees as HPCSA Fees for Dental Practitioners (HPCSA Fees)
All medical aids can now pay whichever portion of a claim they prefer and dentists can ask any fee that they think is fair if he can justify it against the HPCSA Fees.
Smile Care uses the HPCSA fees as guideline.
Please enquire with your medical aid as to how they pay dental fees for ease of your financial planning.
We willingly give quotes before commencement of any dental work !

PAYMENT METHODS:

• CREDIT CARD
• DEBIT CARD
• CASH
• INTERNET TRANSFER (at reception)

A detailed statement with proof of payment will be given to you to enable you to submit your claim to your medical aid.
Your understanding is highly appreciated.

Die kompetisie kommissaris het alle prys vasstelling in die mediese bedryf as onwettig verklaar in November 2003.
Die “Council for Medical Schemes” (CMS) en die “Health Professions Council of South Africa”(HPCSA), is toe genader deur die Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF) en The South African Dental Association (SADA) om riglyn fooie daar te stel.
