Faculty of Consulting Physicians of South Africa - Dermatology

1.3 FCPSA ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION
The FCPSA will interact with Funders and other stakeholders in the private sector to promote the interests of
Physician groups. This will include the future RPL and a proposed new coding system for SA. Doctors working
on specific projects within FCPSA will be paid an honorarium. The FCPSA is also represented on the SAPPF
Board of Directors.
1.4 HEALTHMAN SUBSCRIPTION
This allows members full access to the HealthMan practice management services. The equivalent Spesnet
services vary between R3000 and R7200. It also covers FCPSA costs to HealthMan to continue with practice
cost and coding studies.
1.5 PROJECT FEES
These will allow the FCPSA to cover costs relating to a proposed new coding structure for South Africa. SAMA
does not intend to contribute towards these costs. The alternative is to move towards the Public Sector UPFS
system for private practice.
2. SUMMARY
\We fully understand that these are major increases in subscription. It is however necessary to ensure the
survival of private practice in South Africa. If you are unhappy about specific aspects as set out above, we would
appreciate it if you can address the relevant topic. Please send comments to Casper Venter at
casperv@healthman.co.za.
The overpayment of January and February 2010 fees will be reflected as a credit on your account and be
reversed. Debit orders will be adjusted accordingly and tax invoices will be sent to you shortly. The FCPSA will
pay over all fees received on behalf of a 3 rd party, ie SAPPF fee and the legal fee. Funds not utilised will be
carried forward to 2011.
Sincerely
DR ADRI KOK
