Morning, I am from south Africa and have just installed OpenEMR V6.0.0. this is the first time I install this software. I would like to know how to add Medical Aid schemes that are available here in South africa. All I have is a practice number for now.

Assistance would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello @emrspecialist
Please describe what a ‘Medical Aid scheme’ is and how it works?
Does one submit claims to them for payment for services?

OpenEMR’s billing module is geared to the American insurance industry requirements but you can also generate invoices.

It’s possible that one can customize a report form using the data tracked by the Billing module to make a form for the ‘Medical Aid scheme’.

Thanks @htuck for your response.
I notice that a lot of the default packages/modules are for the American insurance industry. I think in South Africa the equivalent is Medical Aid Scheme.

Fortunately there is a module for submitting claims to them using a switching house in South Africa.
