Show Notes
Gauteng Health Department tackles four point six billion rand in unpaid patient fees, with two point six billion from self-paying patients and the rest from medical schemes and government entities. Challenges in collection, especially from patients without identification, strain public health resources. To combat this, the department hired debt collectors, joined a national treasury contract, and implemented new steps to target medical aid claims and improve billing processes.
