Discovery Dental Tariffs 2018

DH Dental Tariffs

 

MOST RECENT COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL TARIFFS

 

Health practitioners’ fees in South Africa are currently not regulated. The Health Professions Council believes the lack of tariff guidelines adds to spiralling healthcare costs. The council regularly receives complaints from patients who claim they have been overcharged.

And yet doctors’ and dentists’ associations have accused the Health Professions Council and the health minister of suppressing the already low tariff guidelines. There are no official guidelines other than what medical schemes are prepared to pay. Medical aids, even different plan options within the same scheme, all have different rates.

Discovery Health is one of the biggest medical schemes by far. And therefore their rates are the most widely applicable.

 

We also have available to 2018 Discovery Dental Technicians tariffs adjusted for the 15% VAT increase. See link below.
