Get Admitted

Medical Aid & Fees

Our Case Managers arrange your authorization and liaise with your medical aid directly. You’ll receive separate accounts from your psychiatrist, psychologist and other practitioners.

Some plans require pre-authorization or a co-payment (for example, Discovery Keycare and Momentum Custom). We will explain anything that applies to you before admission.

Length of Stay

Every recovery is different. Your stay depends on your individual progress and cooperation, the guidance of your therapeutic team, and the benefits available on your medical aid.
