Please ensure that you have sufficient funds in your medical aid before proceeding with a treatment.
Please do not hesitate to have an open and honest conversation with your Dr about your account/ cost of treatments. A quotation can always be given to you upon request.
For specialized treatments, please ensure that you do a treatment with the relevant authorization (in writing) from your medical aid (if your medical aid requires it).
