DTIC calls for comment on Healthcare Funders Board Competition Act exemption

In collaboration with its members, the Board of Healthcare Funders of Southern Africa would use the exemption to publish a scale of benefits that would serve as a reference price list for medical schemes, healthcare providers and consumers, enabling them to make informed choices on a range of issues.
According to the Board of Healthcare Funders of Southern Africa, the medical scheme industry is facing challenges not experienced in 2008, when its first exemption application was rejected. In the board's view, the strict, rules-based, inflexible regulatory approach of the Council for Medical Schemes has severely hampered the ability of medical schemes to exert downward pressure on the prices of healthcare services, minimise contribution increases and develop cost-effective benefit packages. An exemption would enable the board to address this on behalf of its members.
