Travelling from Mozambique
ENT and head & neck care for patients from Mozambique
Your doctor in Mozambique sends the referral and scans securely. The rooms then help you plan the practical side, including medical aid paperwork and travel, before your in-person consultation at Netcare Milpark or, for children, Netcare Mulbarton.
Medical aid & funders
Mozambican patients are often covered by international or corporate health insurance. On request, the practice provides quotations, clinical motivation and ICD-10 coding for pre-authorisation.
International health insurers
Some expatriate and corporate policies cover specialist treatment in South Africa, subject to pre-authorisation. Confirm your policy's cover directly with your insurer.
Mozambican private medical plans
Confirm cross-border cover and required documentation with your plan before travel.

Your records & POPIA
Sending medical records from Mozambique to a practice in South Africa is a cross-border transfer of personal information, which may also be regulated by the data protection law of Mozambique. The secure referral portal explains which information is transferred, and where it is processed, and asks for explicit consent before anything is submitted.
