Bonitas tiered reimbursement consultation codes effective 1 November 2013

admin Medical Aid, Medical Practices, Practice Management

As part of a pilot project Bonitas has introduced tiered consultation codes The codes below are in-house Medscheme codes and we request that you load these codes into your billing systems to allow the provider practice’s to use them when billing for a consultation for all Bonitas patients (except for BonCap).

It will not be necessary for you to communicate to the practices as Bonitas will be sending a letter positioning the pilot to the GP’s and Specialists .

 The codes below are to be used instead of tariff codes 0190/1/2/3.

 Should a doctor however decide not to use the new dummy codes below we must still accept 0190/1/2/3.The effective date for implementation to your systems and to be ready to accept is 1 November 2013.

 Bonitas will pay the scheme rate or a network rate if on the Bonitas network irrespective of which code used.

 Psychiatrists and anaesthetists are to be excluded.
