The Hidden Cost of Outdated Billing Systems
Doctor, did you know that the average South African practice loses between 10% and 15% of its turnover simply because claims are 'lost' or 'stuck' in the medical aid assessment cycle? That is money you have already worked for.
Chasing Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMBs) from schemes like GEMS or Polmed is a full-time job. Your current admin staff likely doesn't have the time to sit on the phone for 40 minutes to fight for one claim.
With the Information Regulator now active, a single lost patient file or an unencrypted email containing a diagnosis is a R10 million liability. Your current paper or legacy system is a ticking time bomb.
Currently, you are acting as a bank for the medical aids. You provide the service today, but you wait 30, 60, or even 90 days to see the cash. That's not a medical practice; that's an interest-free loan.
Every day you wait is another day of lost revenue.
Stop the Bleeding - Get Free AuditIntegrated Platform Built for South African Healthcare
Know instantly if a patient has funds available before they walk into your consulting room. Integrated with Discovery, GEMS, Momentum, and all major medical aids.
Secure, paperless, and accessible from any device. POPIA compliant with military-grade encryption. Works during load-shedding with offline capabilities.
A dedicated team of billing specialists who fight for every rejected claim. We treat 'Rejected' status as a personal challenge.
Hiring us is FREE because we find more money than we cost
Our system uses 'Smart-Validation.' It won't let your staff submit a claim if the ICD-10 code is invalid or the patient's medical aid is suspended. We aim for a 98% first-time pass rate.
Imagine knowing before the patient walks into the consulting room that their Discovery 'Savings' are depleted. You can then collect the cash immediately, rather than sending an invoice later that will never be paid.
Our Bureau team treats a 'Rejected' status as a personal challenge. We resubmit within 24 hours. We turn your 'Bad Debt' into 'Cash in Bank'.
5% Collection Rate Increase = System Pays for Itself
Everything Above 5% = PURE PROFIT for Your Practice
Everything else we collect is pure profit for your practice. We don't cost you money; we find you money.

Everything you need to know about our services
We are fully registered with the Information Regulator and undergo annual compliance audits. Our system includes built-in POPIA tools: consent management, data subject access requests, deletion workflows, and complete audit trails. We also provide you with compliance documentation for your practice.
All data is stored on secure servers located in Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa. Your data never leaves South African borders, ensuring compliance with POPIA's cross-border data transfer restrictions.
We use AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.3 for data in transit. This is the same military-grade encryption used by banks and government institutions. All patient communications are encrypted end-to-end.
Our mobile-first platform works on any smartphone or tablet with a 4G/5G connection. The system includes offline mode that stores data locally and automatically syncs when connectivity returns. You can continue seeing patients even during extended power outages.
We guarantee 99.9% uptime, backed by our Service Level Agreement (SLA). Our infrastructure uses redundant servers across multiple South African data centers. In the unlikely event of downtime, you'll have offline access to critical patient data.
While not required, we recommend having a mobile hotspot as backup. Our system is designed to work on low-bandwidth connections (even 3G), so a basic mobile data plan is sufficient for business continuity during primary internet outages.
We're integrated with all major South African medical schemes including Discovery Health, GEMS, Momentum Health, Bonitas, Fedhealth, Bestmed, Polmed, and all schemes connected to the Healthbridge/MediSwitch network. We support real-time eligibility checks and claim submission for all of them.
PMB claims are our specialty. Our bureau team includes dedicated PMB specialists who understand the regulations and know how to fight rejections. We have specific workflows for GEMS, Polmed, and other schemes known for PMB complications. Our 24-hour resubmission guarantee applies specifically to PMB rejections.
Yes. Our system integrates directly with medical scheme authorization systems. You can submit pre-auth requests and receive responses within the system. For urgent cases, you'll see approval status in as little as 2-3 seconds for participating schemes.
Benefit verification typically takes 2-3 seconds. This includes checking the patient's membership status, available benefits, co-payment requirements, and Discovery Savings Account balance. You'll know if you can proceed with treatment before the consultation begins.
For small practices (1-3 doctors), implementation typically takes 2 weeks. Medium practices (4-10 doctors) take 3-4 weeks. Large or multi-location practices may take 4-6 weeks. We work around your schedule to minimize disruption and can often complete migration over weekends.
Yes, complete data migration is included at no extra cost. We migrate patient demographics, medical histories, billing records, and historical claims. Our team handles the technical aspects, and we validate 100% of migrated data before go-live.
We provide comprehensive training for all staff members: doctors, administrative staff, and billing personnel. Training includes live sessions, video tutorials, written guides, and ongoing support. We also offer role-specific training (e.g., clinical vs. administrative). Refresher training is available anytime.
Yes. We use a phased implementation approach where both systems run in parallel for a transition period. You choose your go-live date, and we provide extra support during the first 30 days. Most practices experience zero downtime during the switch.
Bureau Model: We handle all billing and claim management. You pay a percentage of collected revenue (typically 8-12%). No upfront costs, no monthly fees. Best for practices that want to outsource billing completely.
SaaS Model: You get full access to our EHR and billing software for a flat R2,999/month. Your staff submits claims using our platform. Best for practices that prefer to keep billing in-house.
Setup fees vary by practice size: Small practices (1-3 doctors) = R5,000-R8,000, Medium practices (4-10 doctors) = R10,000-R15,000. This covers data migration, system configuration, staff training, and go-live support. Bureau model clients often have reduced or waived setup fees.
The R2,999/month includes: Unlimited users, unlimited patients, full EHR access, real-time eligibility checking, claim submission, Smart-Validation, POPIA compliance tools, 24/7 support, regular software updates, cloud storage, and mobile access. There are no hidden fees or per-claim charges.
Our clients typically see 312% ROI within the first year. This comes from: reducing rejection rates (10-15% saved), faster payment cycles (30-90 days β 48 hours), recovered bad debt, reduced admin staff hours, and avoided POPIA penalties. Most practices recover their implementation costs within 60 days.
Smart-Validation prevents invalid claims from being submitted: checks ICD-10 codes, validates patient eligibility, verifies benefits availability, ensures proper documentation, and flags common errors. Combined with our bureau team's expertise in resubmitting rejections, we achieve 98% clean claim rates.
Standard support is available Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM SAST. Emergency support is available 24/7 for critical issues (system down, data access problems). All plans include phone, email, and live chat support.
Yes, all support is included. There are no additional charges for support tickets, phone calls, or training requests. Enterprise clients receive priority support with dedicated account managers and 30-minute emergency response time.
All updates are automatic and deployed during off-peak hours (typically Sunday nights). You'll receive advance notice of major updates. Updates include new features, security patches, and medical scheme requirement changes (e.g., when Discovery updates their claim formats). Zero downtime updates are our standard.
For critical issues (system unavailable, data access problems, claim submission failures), call our emergency line 24/7. Enterprise clients get 30-minute response time; other plans get 2-hour response time. We also provide temporary workarounds and offline access until the issue is resolved.
