Additional Information
Rates and Billing
Inpatient Services: Angela is contracted with most major medical aid schemes and charges according to medical aid rates. Inpatient services are rendered following a referral from your treating doctor. While medical aid handles the account submission, clients are responsible for payment if authorization for in-hospital treatment is not approved by the medical aid.
Outpatient Services: Outpatient services are available on both cash and medical aid bases. Before engaging in outpatient services, clients should confirm coverage for psychological services with their medical aid provider. If the claim is rejected or if a co-payment is required, clients are responsible for the outstanding balance.
