Financial Consent: Buhrs Physiotherapist Inc & Herbst JA Biokineticist Inc
Please read these terms and conditions carefully. They are all important. The terms and conditions constitute an enforceable agreement between us. If you have any questions, please contact your administrator or healthcare practitioner through the App, who will assist you with your query.
Payment
- You remain responsible for the payment for the services provided (assessments by a physiotherapist and the preparation and deployment of an exercise programme complimented with monitoring by a bikineticist or physiotherapist.)
- You should note that we are obliged by law to include codes on your accounts that identify the services that you receive from us (procedure codes) and stipulate your diagnosis (ICD-10 codes). Without these codes, your medical scheme might not reimburse for these services.
- We will submit a copy of the account to your medical scheme on your behalf, should it be determined that there are benefits to cover these services. It is anticipated that your medical scheme will pay the amount directly to the relevant practice, as the Discovery Enhanced Spinal Conservative Care Pilot Programme is a risk funded benefit. Should the scheme for some reason pay this into your own account, it will be your responsibility to pay this across to the relevant practice in settlement of services rendered.
- In the unlikely event that after the submission of your account to the medical scheme that the claim is rejected or not settled in full, you will be required to make a payment in settlement of services rendered.
- The costs of the device you use to run the App on and any data costs incurred to access the App and to engage with a physiotherapist or biokineticist remotely are for your own account.
- You are responsible for paying all outstanding accounts, including charges incurred by us for any dishonoured payments, as well as collection and legal fees (on an attorney-own client scale) for accounts we must collect. We will hand outstanding accounts over for collection to debt collectors or attorneys. You may be listed as a ‘bad payer’ at credit bureaus if you do not pay these accounts.
Legal - These terms and conditions shall be governed, construed and enforced according to the laws of the Republic of South Africa in South Africa.
- Any disputes that may arise from your use of the App and the services on the App, which we cannot resolve between ourselves, will be resolved by arbitration.
Agreement - I confirm that I am 18 years or older and mentally competent to agree to these terms and conditions.
- I agree to the terms and conditions of this Financial Consent, including to ensure payment for the services that I will receive through the App.
- I confirm that I have not been forced or unduly influenced to agree to the terms and conditions.
