It is wrong to say doctors hike the tariffs for PMBs
I refer to an article written by Londiwe Buthelezi (Business Report, November 29), regarding medical schemes complying with the provisions of the Medical Schemes Act (131 of 1998), especially those in respect of fees payable for prescribed minimum benefits (PMBs). I refer you to chapter 3, paragraph 8, section 2, where it stipulates that any benefit offered by a medical scheme must reimburse in full without co-payment or the use of deductibles, the diagnostic treatment and care cost of PMB conditions specified in Annexure A.
