1. INFORMATION MANUAL
Prepared in accordance with Section 51 of the Promotion of Access to Information Act, No 2 of 2000 2.

2. THE PRACTICE
Compensation Solutions (Pty) Ltd (Compsol) is a private company providing financial and administration services to medical service providers who treat South African workers who have been injured on duty. By providing pre-funding and/or administration services to entities who might otherwise be reluctant to service work related injuries due to long payment delays, Compsol is able to create an environment in which these medical service providers can serve the Workmen's Compensation market secure in the knowledge of receiving prompt payment without the burden of repetitive claim administration. Because the company handles medical claims and information of clients who practice in accordance with the requirements of the Health Professionals Act of 1974, the Company is also bound to comply with a number of ethical rules issued by the HPCSA, in particular the duty to preserve patient confidentiality, unless legislation or a court order compels it to act otherwise.
