Welcome to OCCUDOCS:   Our medical practice is restricted to Occupational Medicine. Only a registered Occupational Medical Practitioner with the Health Professions Council may conduct such medicals. This is a requirement in terms of Section 17 of the Health Professions Act 56 of 1974. The purpose of our medical examinations is to determine fitness to perform a selected job.  Please note that in addition, our practice strictly adheres to the requirement of the Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act, and will neither send, nor receive personal information via emailsPlease also note that:

• It is expected that applicants bring completed forms with them to the office for their appointments, downloaded from the website (occudocs.org) and filled out completely.
• Once issued, all certificates are to be examined for accuracy BEFORE leaving the office. No changes will be made on certificates once the applicant leaves the office after theirexamination.
• Should any third party ever request “verification” at any time – they must follow our office policy. This includes a waiver signed by you, reception and transmission of queried documents via courier (at third party’s expense), and payment of prescribed fee. Our office is fully POPI Act compliant.
• Requests for any and all paperwork (including test results, receipts, invoices, etc). MUST be made prior to leaving office. Requests after examinations must be made by personal (or designated in writing representative) appearance, and payment of prescribed fee.  Patients should be cautious when revealing medical information to anyone.  (Do law enforcement officers demand to see the results of your eye test when they request to see your driver’s license?)
• Medical Aids require a diagnosis as well as a procedure code for payment. Please note that any employment medical has NO DIAGNOSIS (it is not a sickness or illness) and therefore no procedure code. Because of this, OCCUDOCS will never submit an invoice to a medical aid.  Other than paid receipts, we do not ever issue itemized accounts to applicants.  If a patient wishes to attempt this, they must do it themself.
