Overview
Discovery Health Medical Scheme, (“The Scheme”), promises to deliver the best care to all of our members.
We recognise that South African specialists offer exceptional quality of care through their high levels of expertise and knowledge.
Our experience tells us that there are times when a specialist may want to collaborate with other experts in a certain field of medicine, especially when their patients are facing life-threatening and life-changing conditions, and when this involves the use of new treatment modalities.
In some cases, a patient may ask their specialist to assist them in getting an expert collaborative review for these conditions.
To make this possible, Discovery Health Medical Scheme has collaborated with The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic to bring members access to the medical expertise of Cleveland Clinic, an international medical centre in the United States, recognised as one of the top medical institutions in the world.
Through this partnership, all Discovery Health Medical Scheme members have the opportunity to get a virtual expert collaborative review from a Cleveland Clinic physician specialist.
