Value Added Healthcare SA- The Zenith Of Healthcare

30/09/2025

Dear Private Healthcare Practitioners

The year is ending and benefits have been depleted in day-to-day Medical Savings Accounts, but patients still need your services.

There are services (recently redefined) which should be covered even after benefits are depleted 😊.

Clinical coding can also be a frustrating entity when not done correctly and optimally. They actually can trigger an investigation against the practice as being fraudulent, wasteful or abusive towards resource utilisation. How does one avoid this unpleasantry while being paid and on time?

Why do funders require letters of motivation and what are they looking for?

If you need any and all the questions above answered, look no further than our ADVANCED MEDICAL AID BILLING TRAINING.

Date: 9 October 2025
Time: 08:30 - 16:30
Venue: Mercure Hotel (Midrand; Gauteng)

Contact us on vahsa_health@outlook.com to book your space.

The training is highly interactive and this is held in small groups.
