As a commitment to the process, on 24 November 2022, stakeholders in the private healthcare sector, including co-regulators, medical schemes, administrators, and provider- and member associations, endorsed and adopted the Industry Codes of Good Practice (CoGP) and FWA Tribunal rules.
The CoGP represent a principled approach for prevention, detection, investigation, restitution, and penalisation methods to mitigate and manage FWA, whilst the Tribunal is a body established to resolve disputes relating to methods used to prevent, detect, investigate, sanction, and restitute funds in FWA-related matters according to Section 59 of the Medical Schemes Act (131 of 1998).
