ABOUT US

VISION

Our primary objective is to increase access to the treatment of hearing loss for all beneficiaries through a value-based service offering between healthcare funders; audiologists and medical scheme members.

Our service model will direct members to contracted audiologists; lead to a significant reduction in fraud, waste and abuse for funders whilst improving the quality of life for beneficiaries.

We aim to ensure beneficiaries receive comprehensive and clinically appropriate treatment for hearing loss based on clinical need and not affordability constraints.
