What would you like to know?
We have covered most of the questions we frequently receive from patients, and have categorised them for medical aid-funded and privately funded patients.
Answers you can expect to find include information about medical aid, fees, payments, branch locations, and the people who will be taking care of you.
Medical aid-funded patients
Apart from a warm and efficient welcome from our receptionists, a qualified radiographer will make you comfortable before managing your procedure. The images are then studied by a highly skilled radiologist – a doctor who has specialised in this field – who then provides your clinician with an accurate report and expert insights. Find out more about SCP’s radiologists.
We are well represented in the Western Cape and you can visit this link to view our locations.
Some specialised procedures are only available at certain branches.
We provide comprehensive information on all of our procedures. You can find more information here.
Your radiographer can answer any other questions that you may have when you visit, or you can contact 021 930 5564.
Yes, we charge the specified medical aid rates for most procedures as defined by your particular medical scheme.
You can request a quote by filling out this online form or by contacting the branch you want to visit and supplying them with the referral note to ensure correct quoting.
Please note that the quote is an estimate only, as additional consumables may be required during the procedure.
We subscribe to medical aid rates but we suggest that you confirm with your medical aid whether a co-payment will be required or, where applicable, if the procedure will be covered by your savings.
CT and MR scans, and certain interventional procedures, require pre-authorisation.
As a convenient service to you, SCP will assist you in obtaining pre-authorisation by providing the necessary tariff and ICD10 codes to your medical scheme prior to the procedure.
Pre-authorisation remains the responsibility of the patient, however, and is not a guarantee of payment from the medical aid scheme. The responsibility to settle the account rests with the patient.
No, SCP is an independent practice and will invoice you directly.
Yes, we do submit directly to the medical aid scheme. Please note, however, that it remains the patient's responsibility to ensure that the claim reaches the fund in the prescribed period, and that settlement of the account remains the responsibility of the patient.
Unfortunately, you will then be liable for the full amount levied.
No, you will need to fund the fees in full.
You can pay via EFT, credit card, debit card, cash, Snapscan or walletdoc.
