Pulamed will guarantee payment for in-patient hospitalisation in South Africa once the hospital guarantee request is received as per our arrangements with the hospital. The hospital must communicate with The Fund at the time of admission of the patient. Members have to ensure before leaving, that their membership is up to date; subscription payments, benefit availability so that they have a clear indication of what their liability to the hospital will be depending on the hospital charges. Pulamed has a network of Hospital Groups which The Fund pays directly on your behalf.
