In 2009 the NHC Network was expanded to include specialists. It is a fact that Medical Schemes are persistently approaching GP’s and hospital groups with the purpose of contracting to try and save costs. The contractual agreements often involved limiting the GP’s choice of specialist/hospital. Previously we chose not to accept the contractual proposals from the medical schemes as we preferred to support the hospitals with which we were involved. As we are no longer aligned with any specific hospital group, we felt that instead of denying the schemes the opportunity to contract with us and the specialists, that we rather forward a list of participating specialists and then assist those specialists, where relevant, in contracting with the hospitals of their choice in time to come.
