4. 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

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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 9
