To check whether your medical aid scheme covers treatment for a specific condition, contact your medical aid. You could also post a question to our Medical Money Expert, Anton Davies. Have a look at his answer about cover for Bipolar Mood Disorder.

Also have a look at the articles on the status of mental health in South Africa. This section includes articles on how some medical schemes discriminate again psychiatric patients.
