If you need to see a specialist, you must first visit your Network GP, who will give you a referral letter. You will need to call us on 0860 10 29 03 to get authorisation. The maximum amount we will pay per visit is R1 220, with a maximum for the year of R2 440 for you and your family, if they are also covered. This amount is for the visit and any medication that the specialist prescribes. The specialist may also send you for basic blood tests and black-and-white x-rays.
Example: Let’s say the specialist charges you R1 300 for a visit. The specialist will send the account for R1 300 to Momentum for payment. Momentum will pay the specialist R1 220, and your benefit left for the year will reduce from R2 440 to R1 220. You will have to pay the additional R80 for the visit from your own pocket.
