Prescribed Minimum Benefit (PMB) forms are specific medical aid documents that must be completed by the treating or diagnosing physician. These forms confirm a patient's diagnosis and ongoing treatment plan to ensure that the medical aid covers the condition under PMB regulations.
Our doctors are only permitted to complete PMB forms if they are the treating physician who has directly managed your condition.
For example:
If you require the completion of a PMB form for a psychiatric condition, the form must be completed by your psychiatrist (the specialist treating you for that condition).
This rule ensures medical accuracy and compliance with medical aid requirements. If you need a PMB form completed, please contact your treating specialist or the healthcare professional managing your ongoing care.
