- Authorisation
- Benefit limits and applicable rules
Your Netcare Benefits Should Be Considered Individually

What Can Influence Your Netcare Addiction Treatment Benefits?
Membership & Benefits
The individual's membership circumstances and relevant benefit structure can influence the benefits that may apply.
Available Benefits
Available benefits at the time treatment is being considered may affect the funding position.
Clinical Needs
The appropriate treatment pathway should be guided by individual clinical circumstances and recovery needs.
Treatment Type
Detoxification, residential rehabilitation and outpatient treatment may involve different medical aid considerations.
Authorisation Requirements
Relevant authorisation may be required before certain treatment services can begin.
Benefit Limits & Rules
Applicable benefit limits, requirements and scheme rules can influence the final funding position.
Why verify benefits before admission? Checking the medical aid position can provide greater clarity about applicable benefits and requirements before treatment starts, without suggesting guaranteed funding.
