The letter from the Council for Medical Schemes responds to a complaint from the Vice Chairperson of the Medical Aid Liaison Body regarding coverage of educational psychologists. The Council denies that its previous letter on the topic was legally incorrect or discriminatory, as it was based on the legislated scope of practice for psychologists. While scope of practice issues should be addressed by the Health Professions Council, medical schemes are only required to cover prescribed minimum benefits, not other benefits like learning and development services. For coverage, it would need to be shown that educational psychologist services fall within regulations or a scheme's benefits. The Council invites the submission of evidence on this point, including regarding any updated scope of practice.
