The agreement will be limited to GPs on Premier Practice which is an arrangement to define appropriate care delivery and benefit principles for the management of specified chronic conditions by GPs.
Based on the initial consultation the practice will have the opportunity to charge a higher consultation rate for an initial, once per annum, extended consultation by using the following billing code:
· PHPRO
· Description Personal Health Programme Consultation
· Tariff amount R600
It is important to note
Your urgent assistance in reviewing your PMA’s ability to manage alphanumeric procedure codes and confirming with Discovery Health, on your capacity to complete all development required to manage the new codes by the go live date of 1 January 2015 would be highly appreciated.
You are welcome to email me at carinam@discovery.co.za or Muneefa@discovery.co.za if you have any questions about this.

New technology replaces stethoscope
The Eko Core digital stethoscope aims to bring auscultation —- the ancient medical practice of listening to a patient’s heartbeat — squarely into the 21st century. It was cleared for sale in the U.S. this month.
The new-generation stethoscope wirelessly streams heart sounds to a smartphone app, which can save them to a patient’s electronic medical record. The record of a patient’s heartbeat can be viewed as a heart-sound wave form and shared with a cardiologist to get a second opinion.
