Household limits apply

These tariffs fall under the SHIF surgical package, which limits households to 3 minor, 2 major, and 1 specialized procedure per year. Oncology procedures such as Wertheim’s Hysterectomy and ovarian cancer resection are typically classed as specialized and require Level 4–6 facilities with at least two operating theatres.

Ruptured ectopic pregnancy and obstetric emergencies are time-critical. Facilities generally proceed with emergency laparotomy or resuscitation first and reconcile SHA pre-authorization afterward. Confirm with your facility’s billing office how emergency claims are processed under SHIF.
