Oncology Benefit Management Programme for cancer patients
If you are diagnosed with cancer, the Oncology Benefit Management Programme will not only help you to manage your Oncology Benefits in relation to the high costs associated with treatment, but you will also receive support and education on your condition.
By joining the Programme when you are diagnosed with cancer, you will qualify for the Oncology Benefit. This benefit forms part of your Hospital Benefits, subject to the Oncology sub-limit.
If you are diagnosed with cancer, your treating Oncologist must submit a proposed Care Plan for pre-authorisation before your treatment can begin. This Care Plan should provide information such as the date of diagnosis, ICD-10 code, the area to be treated, any prior surgery or treatment plus history, new treatment requested, as well as approximate costs.
The Care Plan must be submitted to Oncology Benefit Management by sending a fax to 0864 613 917 or an email to oncology@omsmaf.co.za.
