See how a medical bureau works silently behind the scenes, ensuring seamless billing, compliance, and peace of mind for patients, hospitals, and healthcare providers.
Patient experience: Family calls emergency number, ambulance dispatched with real-time GPS tracking via app. Paramedics stabilise the patient on scene.
No direct involvement β focus on acute medical care.
Patient arrives at emergency unit. South African Triage Scale determines priority. Admin captures ID, medical scheme details, and financial consent is signed.
Starts verification: checks medical aid authorization, confirms PMB coverage for emergency, validates patient details for billing pathway.
Doctors consult, order diagnostics, perform procedures. All clinical notes & codes recorded in electronic health record.
Real-time coding oversight: CPT/ICD-10 codes captured, flags exclusions, ensures alignment between diagnosis and procedure for claim acceptance.
Patient either admitted to ward (inpatient) or discharged with medication & follow-up plan. Doctor issues discharge summary.

Patient receives SMS with digital care summary via app. Medical aid processes claims; patient receives itemised bill for any shortfall.

Immediate eligibility check & PMB verification. The bureau ensures that the emergency admission meets Prescribed Minimum Benefits criteria β protecting the patient from unexpected costs.
Automated auth tracking, popia-compliant data handling, medical scheme rules engine.
As doctors order CT scans, blood work, and procedures, the bureauβs system captures NAPPI/CPT codes in real-time and flags mismatches (e.g. procedure not linked to diagnosis).
Reduces claim rejection rates by up to 30%, accelerates medical aid payment.
After discharge, the bureau merges all invoices (facility, emergency physician, specialists) into a single statement, submits claims electronically, and tracks them until paid.
No missing invoices; reduced administrative burden for doctors & hospital staff.
Call centre handles patient questions: "Why is my co-payment this amount?" "What is the status of my claim?" Payment plans arranged if needed.
Compliant with legal guidelines, preserves patient-provider relationships.
