It falls under the umbrella of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse (FWA) which costs the healthcare industry around R22 billion a year and is one of the main drivers of healthcare inflation. The Council for Medical Schemes (CMS) estimates that 15% of claims in the healthcare industry contain some element of FWA.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMedical schemes are not for profit and are in fact owned by their members. So when a scheme is defrauded, it impacts funds to pay for claims and can contribute towards increased premiums,\u201d says Callakoppen.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe constantly urge our members to be vigilant and check their accounts and medical scheme statements to make sure that all claims are correct and that they actually received the services they were charged for,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>How to stay safe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Mitchell says that medical aid members need to keep their medical aid information in a safe and secure place at all times.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you lose your medical aid card, you need to keep a close eye on the notifications that usually get sent by your medical aid when a claim is submitted. If you get a claim notification for something you are unaware of, you need to immediately report it to your medical scheme,\u201d says Mitchell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMedical aid cards, unfortunately, unlike bank cards can&#8217;t be canceled when they are lost. The unique identifier is the member number which does not usually change when you remain with the same medical aid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>READ MORE:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justmoney.co.za\/news\/2020\/11\/23\/how-will-your-personal-information-be-protected-by-your-insurers\/\"><strong><em>How will your personal information be protected by your insurers?<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Part of the responsibility for keeping your details secure lies with your medical aid scheme.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMedical scheme companies have various data protection mechanisms.
