The development of the NHRPL (National Health Reference Price List) for dietitians, involving a time-billing structure as opposed to the previous "BHF rates" (billing per actual type of treatment / assessment done).
The latest NHRPL can be obtained from the Council for Medical Schemes website: www.medicalschemes.com
The CMS website lists any changes in policy with medical schemes new tariff structures and updates for health professionals rules for use of the current tariffs of all registered medical schemes and their details.
