described in this algorithm is included within this benefit, subject to the
application of managed health care interventions by the relevant medical
scheme.
2. To the extent that a medical scheme applies managed health care
interventions in respect of this benefit, for example clinical protocols for
diagnostic procedures or medical management, such interventions must –
a. not be inconsistent with this algorithm;
b. be developed on the basis of evidence-based medicine, taking into
account considerations of cost-effectiveness and affordability; and
c. comply with all other applicable regulations made in terms of the
Medical Schemes Act, 131 of 1998

and affordability.
