Peer Review is a process where a member consents to being reviewed retrospectively or concurrently by an elected group of peers.
The aim of Peer Review is to ensure that all NHC Ltd Medical Service Providers practice according to one standard of high quality health care. This process reviews: claims sent to medical aids, prescribing habits and referral processes to specialists.
