We offer multiple forms of payment for your convenience.
Cash / EFT / Credit Card / Claim submitted directly to medical aid scheme on-line
Note: Where claims are submitted directly to medical aid schemes the main medical aid member remains accountable for any portion of the fee that is not reimbursed by the medical aid.
Michael has payment agreements with several medical aid schemes as a Designated Service Provider (DSP) and charges the medical aid scheme tariff for these scheme’s members. Subject to the member having available day-to-day benefits no co-payments are charged.
Where a patient is diagnosed with a Prescribed Minimum Benefit (PMB) condition the medical aid scheme tariff is charged for consultations without any co-payment or levy (for more information on PMB conditions visit the Council for Medical Schemes web site at https://www.medicalschemes.com/medical_schemes_pmb/index.htm);
Most medical aid schemes do not pay for career guidance or careers assessments, marriage counselling or writing reports and/or letters and these services would be for the patient’s account;
The practice tariff rate is R1 200.00 for a 51 to 60-minute consultation payable on statement (30 days);
A discounted tariff of R1 000.00 per 51 to 60-minute consultation is offered for payment at the time of the consultation. This discount is available to all patients, both private and medical aid scheme members that wish to pay on the day and claim back from their medical aid scheme;
The cost of a career assessment is R4 000.00, which includes the psychometric testing, analysis, drafting a report and a 1-hour feedback session for the patient (and family if a child);
The charges for other psychological assessments are determined by the type of psychometric tests that will be used, the duration and complexity of the assessment and the length of the report. These will be determined on a per-case basis and discussed with the payment guarantor;
A fee of R500.00 is charged for missed appointments that are not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance as provided for in section 17 (3) (b) of the Consumer Protection Act. This fee is not covered by medical aid schemes and will be for the patient’s account.
