MAKING USE OF NETWORK SERVICE PROVIDERS
In terms of the rules of Fishmed, members should make use of network service providers for general practitioner, specialist, dental and hospital services. Using a network service provider will help you avoid co-payments, which are payable directly to the provider, and stretch your benefits for the year.

Signing of the National Health Insurance (NHI) bill
As you would have seen in the news, the NHI bill has now been signed by President Ramaphosa. The signing of the NHI bill will have no impact on the Fishing Industry Medical Scheme or any other medical scheme for the foreseeable future. Following the passing of the bill, full implementation will take several years. In the interim, medical schemes and the private healthcare sector will continue to operate without any change.
