Medical Care in South Africa

The world is becoming a mobile place for all types of workforces, from blue collar workers to executives.

In a competitive market where insurers are growing this book of business, and have to become more competitive and creative with the various types of cover offered and required levels of service, Interhealth is able to add value to the service chain by being a local presence with a good track record with providers. We have 18 years of experience in this market.

One of the main areas that insurers have to look at is the levels of management of the claims for members in their country where they are working, without the member having to face the logistical complication of always having to refer back to the country where the insurer is based. This is usually expensive and time consuming.

For Africa, Interhealth is ideally situated in South Africa, and is the only company specializing in the management of expatriate medical claims in South Africa and has a network of contracted service providers, providing access to treatment throughout the most of Africa. Interhealth is able to provide assistance to assistance companies managing cases throughout Africa. We understand Africa!

The benefit for our clients is that their members have a local office, the Interhealth Office, to contact and work with, whereby we manage all aspects of their claims, both inpatient and outpatient claims. This service offering is of great comfort to the insurance, corporate and individual clients, where they are assured of a local or regional contact points for their members.

Another huge benefit is that service providers are comforted that they have to deal with a local company, without the complications of dealing with international funders and trying to chase their money from foreign companies. (It is a known fact that most providers don't like chasing foreign funders, as they are not geared for this type of work!)

Interhealth has an extensive network in South Africa and provides medical case management and cost containment. The benefit is that Interhealth is a South African company, understanding the complexities of the healthcare administration and charges. Interhealth has negotiated preferential rates with the majority of the service providers, thereby ensuring cost savings for our clients. Interhealth has negotiated immediate access to the majority of treating facilities in South Africa, thereby ensuring quicker and easier access to treatment for our client's members.

In India, Interhealth is able to provide similar services as in South Africa through our partner in India.
