You pay an upfront R15 300 to the hospital for a planned admission anywhere else.
“Members on the Essential Dynamic Smart and Active Smart plans, have access to the Dynamic Smart Hospital Network. For planned admissions you must use our Medical Provider Search tool in the Discovery Health app and on our website to find the most suitable hospital based on your healthcare needs. For planned admissions to any other private hospital, you must pay an upfront amount of R15,300. This does not apply in an emergency.”
No fixed list exists. The scheme names the hospital per admission through its own Provider Search (p2).
