MEMBER GUIDE - VITAL PLUS & VITAL NETWORK 18 Where do I find a Designated Service Provider for chronic medication? You can find a list of CAMAF Designated Service Providers on our website under Products > CAMAF Networks & Options. If I am HIV positive where do I obtain my medication? The DSP for this medication is Pharmacy Direct. What are the advantages of using a courier pharmacy? Your medication is delivered directly to you at your chosen address, at the appropriate time and they will pro-actively remind you when your prescription needs to be renewed. What options do I have if my current pharmacy is not on the network? • Request your pharmacist to consider joining the Network by emailing implementationsdept@ medikredit.co.za for an application form. • Retrieve your prescription from your current pharmacy and choose a Network pharmacy from which to obtain your new supply of medication. • Remain with your current pharmacy and pay the additional costs. How do I register my chronic condition? A Chronic application form, obtainable from CAMAF website must be completed by your doctor and submitted to CAMAF, either online or submitted to clinicalrisk@camaf.co.za or faxed to 011 707 8622. Alternatively your doctor or pharamacist can contact CAMAF to register your condition on 0800 200 300. You can also register your condition via the CAMAF mobile app. Once your condition has been registered, you will have access to the CONDITION MEDICINE LIST (CML). This is a list of drugs, appropriate for your condition, that do not require authorisation every year. What happens if I am diagnosed with a new chronic condition during the course of the year? If you have been diagnosed with a condition that falls under the PMB CDL or CAMAF's Additional Chronic Diseases then registration of this condition is required before access to chronic medication benefits will be granted - see above. Can my chronic medication be back dated if I realise that my medication qualifies for the chronic benefit? If, prior to your application for authorisation, you did not realise that your medication met the clinical criteria and you paid cash, CAMAF will reprocess those claims up to 120 days back (only in the same benefit year) and pay from your Chronic medication benefit, once you have registered your condition and had approval for your medication.
