Medical management reasonably necessary for the delivery of treatment
described in this algorithm is included within this benefit, subject to the
application of managed health care interventions by the relevant medical
scheme.
2. To the extent that a medical scheme applies managed health care
interventions in respect of this benefit, for example clinical protocols for
diagnostic procedures or medical management, such interventions must –
a. not be inconsistent with this algorithm;
b. be developed on the basis of evidence-based medicine, taking into
account considerations of cost-effectiveness and affordability; and
c. comply with all other applicable regulations made in terms of the
Medical Schemes Act, 131 of 1998
This algorithm may not necessarily always be clinically appropriate for the
treatment of children. If this is the case, alternative paediatric clinical
management is included within this benefit if it is supported by evidence-
based medicine, taking into account considerations of cost-effectiveness
and affordability.
