COVID-19 PRESCRIPTION TREATMENT GUIDELINES
The Scheme's clinical team has adopted international best practice aligned with the SA treatment guidelines to ensure our members are provided with optimal treatment for COVID. Immedicate access to treatment is essential and this document's purpose is to be a guide to members regarding the testing and treatment that the Scheme will pay for when we receive a doctor's prescription.
Early diagnosis and commencement of treatment ensures better outcomes in the overwhelmingly majority of cases. Therefore the Scheme provides these guidelines to pro-actively manage the disease in an attempt to reduce hospitalisations and severity of the illness.

These prescription guidelines do not in any way replace your doctor's decisions and/or advice pertaining to your treatment or care and merely act as a guide. The Scheme's clinical team will continously review and update these guidelines as more becomes known of the disease and available treatment options.
To ensure payment of the treatment by Alliance-Midmed, the medicine prescription claims must contain the ICD10-codes as indicated above.
For other or additional treatment funding needs, please ensure that your doctor provides the treatment plan to the Scheme via email to
service@alliancemidmed.co.za prior to initiating treatment - the clinical team will respond within 48-hours.
