Discharge

Patients are discharged by their physician during his / her rounds of the wards. Kindly make the necessary travel arrangements, should you be discharged on the same day that you received anesthesia.

Financial Information

We kindly request that you obtain conformation on the following from your medical aid:

• Medical costs covered;
• authorization for hospitalization;
• maximum benefits or exclusions which may be applicable;
• benefit restrictions, regarding prosthesis and instrumentation.

Certain medical aid funds require their members to pay a percentage of the incurred costs. It is however important to bare in mind that the account remains the patient`s responsibility, and is payable within 30 days of discharge. If you are uncertain of any financial aspects of your medical aid, please consult one of our case coordinators. The ward secretary can arrange a visit by a case coordinator. We request private patients to pay an amount equal to the estimated cost of the total account upon admission. The outstanding balance, if any, is payable upon discharge. It is however, important to keep in mind that the hospital account does not include any other incurred costs, e.g. services rendered by your doctor, anesthetist, radiologist, pathologist, etc. Please contact the Hospital regarding advance payments prior to your admission.

Patients younger than 18 years must be accompanied by an adult on admission and discharge. The parent or guardian is requested to give written consent for the admission of anaesthetic, as well as take responsibility for the account prior to admission.

Service monitoring

In keeping with our goal to continue providing high quality care; we monitor our service to patients on an ongoing basis. On discharge patients are asked to complete a questionnaire regarding their stay at the hospital. Participation is voluntary, but this will assist the hospital management to address any problems and improve our service to you.
