Important reminder regarding changes to our Diabetes Care Programme
A reminder to all members that the Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology (CDE) is no longer the managed care provider for the AMS Diabetes Management Programme. Discovery Health has been appointed in its place and now oversees the delivery of diabetes care services to our members.
Through the Discovery Health Diabetes Care Programme, you will continue to receive high-quality, coordinated care aimed at helping you manage your condition more effectively. The programme offers access to a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, practical tools to track and monitor your health and Care Navigators who are there to support you every step of the way.
Why it matters
Diabetes is a serious condition, and if not properly managed, can lead to long-term complications. Our goal is to help you stay healthy and well-supported on your healthcare journey.
How to join
If you are already registered for diabetes as a chronic condition, you qualify for enrolment in the Diabetes Care Programme through a network healthcare provider. If you are not yet registered, speak to your healthcare provider about getting started.
Is your provider on our network?
To check if your healthcare provider is part of the network:
- Visit www.angloms.co.za and use the Find a Provider tool
- Call us on 0860 444 439
- Email Members_DCP@angloms.co.za
For any diabetes-related questions, call 0860 444 439 or email Members_DCP@angloms.co.za
If you were previously registered with the CDE, MediKredit will manage the registration and authorisation of your current diabetes medication. You will be 'grandfathered' for the remainder of 2025, meaning your existing medication will be covered until the end of the year. However, if your prescription changes, please ensure that MediKredit is notified so that the changes may can be authorised.
For newly registered patients, MediKredit will handle the registration of your diabetes medication, and the MediKredit diabetes basket of care will apply. Authorisation can be updated by calling 0860 222 633 and selecting the Chronic Department.
To avoid additional co-payments, we encourage you to use a pharmacy within the network. You can find one by calling 0860 222 633 or using the Pharmacy Network lookup tool.
