Designated Service Providers (DSP)

What is a Designated Service Provider (DSP)?

A Designated Service Provider (DSP) is a healthcare provider (doctor, pharmacist, hospital, oncology programme, opticians, etc.) with whom a medical scheme enters into a preferential rate agreement to render treatment, diagnosis or care to members and beneficiaries. Schemes may insist that you go to a DSP as soon as your condition is diagnosed, in which case the Scheme will cover the costs from the start.  Treatment at a DSP will be covered in full by the medical scheme under the PMB conditions when delivered according to scheme protocols, clinical reviews and formularies.

What happens should you make use of a non-DSP?

If you choose not to use the DSP selected by your scheme, you may have to pay a portion of the bill as a co-payment. This could either be a percentage co-payment or the difference between the DSP’s tariffs and that charged by the provider you went to.

Hospitals

In terms of the Medical Schemes Act, Medical Schemes are allowed to enter into Designated Service Provider (DSP) or Preferred Provider (PP) arrangements whereby specific service providers or hospitals can be appointed to provide services to Scheme members.

Part of the agreement is a preferential rate offered to WCMAS members which is substantially lower than the rates offered by most of the other Private Hospitals. WCMAS wish to encourage members to make use of these hospitals in order to derive the savings the arrangements offer for the benefit of all members of the Scheme and to avoid co-payments by members.

WCMAS has entered into such an agreement with the following Hospital Groups for hospital services rendered to WCMAS members:-

  • Life Healthcare hospital group
  • Netcare hospitals
  • NHN hospitals including Emalahleni Hospital
  • Mar-Peh Medical Care (Standerton)
  • Joint Medical Holdings
  • Clinix Health Group
  • Some Mediclinic hospitals: Mediclinic Hospitals
  • Unicare Hospitals

Emergency cases

Members are reminded that in the case of an emergency, they are entitled to use any of their nearest hospitals and that they will not be penalized in terms of the Designated Service Provider or Preferred Provider arrangement for the emergency.

Doctors / Specialists

Members must take note that Doctors/Specialists may charge fees in excess of the Scheme Rate (contracted-out fees) for which they will be liable. We encourage you to obtain a quotation before undergoing any procedures.
