Fees, Appointments & What to Bring
Public clinics
Public primary healthcare clinics are generally walk-in, and you should arrive early. Bring your ID or birth certificate, your clinic card or file number if you have one, your Road to Health booklet for babies and young children, and any medication you are taking. If you collect chronic medication, bring your collection slip or card.
Private clinics and GPs
You pay at the visit. Ask for the consultation price when you phone, and check whether the practice claims from your medical aid or needs you to pay first and claim back. CareKahle publishes a price list on its website; most other practices do not, so ask. Bring your ID, medical aid card if you have one, and a list of your current medicines.
