Finding a healthcare provider just got easier

If you are on the Managed Care Plan (MCP) or the Standard Care Plan (SCP), you can now quickly and easily find healthcare professionals near you using the Healthcare Provider Search tool on the AMS website. This interactive map-based tool allows you to search for healthcare providers in your area, see how close they are to you, and understand the funding arrangement between the provider and AMS - all in one place.

How to use the Healthcare Provider Search

Getting started is simple:

1. Log in to the AMS website and select Find a Provider from the navigation bar.
2. In the "What are you looking for?" field, choose the type of healthcare provider you need from the dropdown menu. For example, if you are looking for a GP, select Doctors.
3. Enter your area or suburb. The more specific you are, the more accurate your results will be. For example, Randpark Ridge, Randburg, South Africa.
4. Click Search.
   The tool will display a list of healthcare providers within a 10 km radius, arranged from those closest to you to those further away. For each provider, you will see:
   • Contact details
   • Location
   • The applicable funding arrangement with AMS
5. Click on a provider's name to view more detailed information.
6. To return to your search results, simply use the back arrow at the top of the page.

Using filters to refine your search
If you are looking for a provider linked to a specific care programme or service, you can refine your results using the filter function:

7. Select the relevant filters, then click Apply Filters to update your results.

This will provide you with information on where the facility is situated and specifics on the funding arrangements between AMS and the facility.
