NEWS FLASH

FAXED AND E-MAILED ACCOUNTS
In terms of the rules of the Scheme, and to prevent fraudulent claims from entering our system, we can unfortunately not accept faxed accounts. Metropolitan Health Group, the Scheme's Administrator, subscribes to the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act of 2002. This prohibits the acceptance of faxed and e-mailed claims.
