Doctors Looking For Practice Loans!
Medical Practice Doctors That Need Extra Funds For Their Practice!
The following article explains what is happening in medical practices with injections and immunisations!
"THE decision by all medical funds not to pay for injections and immunisations administered in doctors' consulting rooms have angered medical professionals who say this will push up the prices of medical costs and make medical care less accessible.
In a terse statement the Medical Association of Namibia (MAN) said this drastic decision is because injections and immunisations are not considered as “emergency medication”.
Doctors said the practical implications of this is that only chemists and doctors with dispensing licences can henceforth administer injections and immunisations that medical funds will pay for.
Susan de Beer of the Okahandja Medical Practice said it also means that those patients who cannot pay for potentially lifesaving injections would have to be admitted to hospital to receive them.
Can you imagine what this would do to patients’ medical aids?” she said.
De Beer said doctors would now first have to get an authorisation number from medical aid funds before they can administer emergency injections.
In other words, a doctor with seven years of training and years of experience now needs permission from a clerk behind a desk to do his work!” she added with indignation.
This is entirely a self-serving exercise,” a source said, arguing that medicines will become less accessible, and consequently more expensive.
The MAN directive has the medical fraternity in a panic as many say this completely clouds the little certainty left to medical practitioners’ right to treat their patients.
With some funds now unilaterally and contradictory to the relevant legislation starting to choose what medicines will not be paid for without open and proper communication to that regard, doctors are not at liberty to treat their patients as is their prerogative and in fact their duty,” said the Namibia Private Practitioners’ Forum (NPPF).
The NPPF said the Namibia Medicines Regulatory Council (NMRC) distanced itself from this matter when it stated that it had nothing to do with the decision by the medical aid funds."
