Legislated mandate• Medical Schemes Act 131 of 1998• Act governs Council and industry- Medical schemes- Administrators of medical schemes- Managed care organisations- Brokers• Heart of the Act: protection of beneficiaries
and regulating medical schemes industry• Entire health system benefits
4
Strategic Goals• Goal 1
– Access to good quality medical scheme cover is maximized• Goal 2
– Medical schemes are properly governed, are responsive to the environment, and beneficiaries are informed and protected
• Goal 3– CMS is responsive to the needs of the environment by being an
effective and efficient organisation• Goal 4
– CMS provides influential strategic advice and support for the development and implementation of strategic health policy, including support to the NHI development process
5
Challenges to achieving strategic goals
• Demarcation: medical schemes vs health insurance• Medical Schemes Act is a unique piece of legislation that serves the
public interest through social security provisions & the protection of human rights
• Medical Schemes Act & the protection it offers is currently under threat from unregulated health insurance products (such as gap, cash back schemes & top-up cover)
• Health insurance products discriminate against the most vulnerable groups in society (the sick & the elderly); they also threaten the National Health Insurance (NHI) system
• Only medical schemes offer adequate protection • If you do the business of a medical scheme, you must be
registered & regulated by the CMS through the Medical Schemes Act.
• The CMS remains a national asset in the changing environment.
6
Challenges to achieving strategic goals
• Gap cover – Through risk rating, restricted enrolment, and no minimum benefits, GAP
cover, and other short term insurance products erode the cross subsidisation from young & healthy to sick & old.
• High healthcare and non health costs– Competition Commissioners enquiry. Price determination body
• Complaints– High volume of complaints are still received, especially arising from
Clinical resolution. Limited capacity in this area.
• Legal fees– Regulatory environment is highly litigious. Limited resources.
7
Challenges to achieving strategic goals
• Governance in Schemes– Lack of skills and expertise in some boards– No arms length relationships between trustees and third parties– No fit and proper standards established
As a result of these governance issues schemes are normally placed under curatorship.
8
Challenges to achieving strategic goals
• Payment in full provision challenged– Some schemes challenge the “payment in full provisions”
in the regulations and• Cover PMBs (270 +25) only in terms of scheme rules• Managed care interventions
• Increase in utilisation, tariffs and technology present affordability challenges– Cost: Absent health price determination framework
• Increasingly larger portion of benefits go towards PMBs• GAP cover drives up professional fees
