Bestmed Medical Aid
Bestmed Medical Aid for Addiction Treatment
Crossroads Recovery Centre can assist Bestmed members with understanding applicable addiction-treatment benefits, authorisation requirements and the treatment options that may be relevant to their circumstances.
Bestmed benefits for addiction treatment remain subject to the member's individual membership, available benefits and Bestmed's applicable requirements.
Understanding Your Benefits
Understanding Your Bestmed Benefits for Addiction Treatment
Treatment funding for Bestmed members is not automatic. It can vary according to a number of individual factors that are worth understanding before assuming a particular outcome.
- Bestmed membership option
- Available benefits
- Clinical requirements
- Type of treatment required
- Pre-authorisation
- Applicable limits and scheme rules
Your Benefits Should Be Checked Individually
One Bestmed member's position may differ from another's, so it is worth having your own benefits checked rather than relying on someone else's experience. CRRC can assist with understanding the relevant process.

What Can Influence Your Bestmed Addiction Treatment Benefits?
Membership Option
Different Bestmed options may provide different benefit structures and requirements.
Available Benefits
The benefits remaining on the membership can influence the funding position.
Clinical Assessment
Treatment should be based on the individual's clinical circumstances and recovery needs.
Type of Treatment
Detoxification, inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient treatment may involve different considerations.
Pre-authorisation
Certain treatment services may require authorisation before admission or treatment.
Scheme Requirements
Applicable Bestmed rules, limits and administrative requirements can influence the final benefit decision.
These factors can differ from member to member, so CRRC can help clarify how they may apply to your particular Bestmed membership rather than relying on general assumptions.
