Need Non-Emergency Healthcare? Visit Your Nearest Pharmacy Clinic!

If you cannot visit a SAMHS facility, your first stop for non-emergency treatment should be a network pharmacy clinic. These clinics offer convenient access to healthcare services, no pre-authorisation needed.

Find a Clinic Near You
Use the โ€œSearch Medical Providerโ€ tool on the RFMCF website: http://www.rfmcf.co.za

What to Expect
โ€ข Nurse Consultations: Available at all network pharmacy clinics.
โ€ข Virtual GP Consultations: May be offered during your nurse visit, based on your health evaluation.
โ€ข Chronic Condition Support: Virtual GP consults (tariff code 7503) are part of the Disease Risk Management (DRM) Programme, helping you manage chronic conditions as per your 2025 DRM treatment plan.

Your Benefits
โ€ข Up to 10 consultations per family per year.
โ€ข Virtual GP consults are included in your nurse visitโ€”no extra cost!

Important Notes
โ€ข If you live within 50 km of a SAMHS facility, you must use SAMHS first. If they canโ€™t treat you, a DD63 referral is required to access the Pharmacy Clinic benefit.
โ€ข If you live outside the 50 km radius, no referral is needed.
โ€ข You must see the nurse first before accessing a virtual GP.
โ€ข Visits to a GP outside of a pharmacy clinic will be covered under your GP and Specialist Consultation benefit (6.2).

Remember: Always use network pharmacy clinics to access this benefit.

Stay Ahead of Your Health with Preventative Care

Preventative care isnโ€™t just a buzzword - itโ€™s your first line of defense against serious health issues. By catching potential problems early, you can take control of your health and avoid costly treatments down the line.

Whatโ€™s Included? Each beneficiary is entitled to:
Health Risk Assessment โ€“ 1 per year
Flu Vaccine โ€“ 1 per year
Pneumococcal Vaccine โ€“ 1 every 5 years (65+)
Mammogram โ€“ 1 per year (women 40+)

These benefits are separate from your day-to-day medical cover and must be claimed using the correct tariff codes listed in the 2025 Schedule of Benefits. If your provider uses a different code, the claim will be deducted from your day-to-day benefits.

Prevention is better than a cure. Make the most of your benefits and stay healthy!

๐Ÿ“ž Donโ€™t Miss an Important Call from the Fund! ๐Ÿ“ž

Weโ€™ve noticed that sometimes when the Fund tries to urgently contact our members, the calls go unanswered because our numbers are mistakenly marked as spam by telephony carriers or spam-detection apps.

To make sure you never miss a critical update or support call, we kindly ask all members to save the Fundโ€™s official contact numbers on their phones. This will help ensure our calls are recognized and answered promptly.

๐Ÿ“Œ Please save these numbers:
โ€ข Call Centre: 012 679 4200
โ€ข Pre-Authorisation & Disease Risk Management: 012 679 4201
โ€ข 24-Hour Healthcare Helpline: 010 205 3595

By saving these numbers, youโ€™ll always know when the Fund is calling โ€” and youโ€™ll help prevent our numbers from being flagged as spam.

Thank you for your cooperation and continued support!
