Private medical group Netcare has launched its new NetcarePlus GP Vouchers, aimed at improving access to consultations with general practitioners (GPs) in private practices.<\/p>\n
The NetcarePlus GP Voucher product offers a choice between three types of pre-paid vouchers that are redeemable for a consultation with a GP, said NetcarePlus managing director, Teshlin Akaloo.<\/p>\n
Akaloo said that individuals can choose to buy a voucher that gives them access to an in-person consultation, a voucher that covers the consultation and prescribed acute medications such as antibiotics, or one that provides access to a virtual doctor consultation.<\/p>\n
“The competitive pricing of the NetcarePlus GP Vouchers, which is offered at a discount in relation to medical aid tariffs, compares very favourably with private GP consultation fees across the industry, and provides excellent value for money,” he said.<\/p>\n
A NetcarePlus GP Voucher for a virtual doctor consultation costs R290<\/strong>. A voucher for an in-person doctor consultation costs R350<\/strong>, while a voucher for an in-person doctor consultation including the cost of certain acute medicines costs R430<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Over 500 doctors across all nine provinces are already part of the partner network, Akaloo said.<\/p>\n “Our partner GPs are located in the major centres across the country, but with a virtual option as part of the NetcarePlus GP Vouchers, anyone can now access private GP consultations regardless of where they live or work.”<\/p>\n How to purchase and use NetcarePlus GP Vouchers<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Netcare.png\")
