Specialist Referral Management

Specialist referrals must be obtained through a family practitioner before consulting a specialist; failure results in non-payment except Annexure B exceptions

No gate stated in the documents we hold⚠️ This is our silence, not the scheme’s word. It does not mean the benefit pays automatically — only four programmes in this register say that, and they say it explicitly. Ask the scheme before you rely on it.
