Opthalmology: Reference Price List 2008 HealthMan has calculated the HRPL based on the contents and requirements of Council for Medical Schemes Circular 69 of 2005. Costs were thoroughly researched and the methodologies to determine tariffs are in terms of Circular 69 of 2005. The HRPL is not a set of tariffs that must be applied by medical schemes and/or healthcare providers. Its objective is to serve as a baseline/benchmark against which medical schemes can individually set benefits and that can be used by healthcare providers to determine individually the fees they charge to patients. Healthcare providers should assess their individual practice costs and patient demographics in determining their fees.   RCF Consultations: R 25.16 RCF Procedures: R 17.61 Click here to download a copy of the Opthalmology 2008 Tariffs   HEALTHMAN REFERENCE PRICE LIST  FOR SERVICES BY OPHTALMOLOGISTS, EFFECTIVE FROM 1 JANUARY 2008  Version Units Value (VAT incl.)             Consultations:       0107 Newborn Attendance -Visit in Ward 2008.01      33.00 R 830.28 0109 Hospital follow-up visit 2008.01      15.00 R 377.40 0113 Newborn Attendance - Emergency at all hours 2008.01      45.00 R 1,132.20 0129 Prolonged first/follow-up consultation : 15 min 2008.01      15.00 R 377.40 0132 Repeat Script 2008.01        5.00 R 125.80 0190 Consultation :10-20 min. 2008.01      15.00 R 377.40 0191 Consultation :20-35 min. 2008.01      30.00 R 754.80 0192 Consultation :30-45 min. 2008.01      45.00 R 1,132.20 0145 Consultation : Away from doctor's room 2008.01        6.00 R 150.96 0146 Unscheduled consultation: Emergency (cons.room) 2008.01        8.00 R 201.28 0147 Unscheduled consultation:Emergency(not cons.room) 2008.01      14.00 R 352.24 0148 Elective after-hours services(+50%) 2008.01   R 0.00 0149 Emergency after-hours services(+25%) 2008.01   R 0.00 0173 Hospital Consultation:10-20 min. 2008.01      15.00 R 377.40 0174 Hospital Consultation:20-35 min. 2008.01      30.00 R 754.80 0175 Hospital Consultation:30-45 min. 2008.01      45.00 R 1,132.20 0199 Chronic Medicine Forms 2008.01      21.43 R 539.18             Procedures       3003 Fundus contact lens or 90 D lens examination 2008.01        7.00 R 123.28 3004 Peripheral fundus examination with indirect Ophthalmoscope 2008.01        7.00 R 123.28 3006 Keratometry 2008.01        7.00 R 123.28 3009 Basic capital equipment used in own rooms by ophthalmologists. 2008.01      11.68 R 205.71 3013 Ocular motility assessment: Comprehensive examination 2008.01      12.00 R 211.34 3014 Tonometry per test with maximum of 2 tests for provocative tonometry 2008.01        7.00 R 123.28 3017 Retinal threshold test inclusive of computer disc storage for Delta of Statpak programs 2008.01      74.00 R 1,303.29 3018 Retinal threshold trend evaluation 2008.01      16.00 R 281.79 3020 Special eye investigations:Pachymetry:Only when own instrument is used, per eye.  Only in addition to corneal surgery. 2008.01      46.00 R 810.15 3021 Special eye investigations:Retinal funtion assessment including refraction after ocular surgery.Within four months,max 2 exams. 2008.01        9.00 R 158.51 3022 Digital fluorescein video angiography 2008.01      68.00 R 1,197.62 3027 Fundus photography 2008.01      21.00 R 369.85 3028 Optical Coherent Tomography (OCT) of Optic nerve or macula:Per eye 2008.01      40.00 R 704.48 3036 Corneal topography:For pathological corneas only on special motivation.
