🎙️ Radio Interview Feature

Physiotherapists’ Experiences of Forensic Audits by Medical Schemes in South Africa
As featured on Radio 702 – Weekend Breakfast with Refiloe Mpakanyane

Lesley Meyer joins Radio 702 to discuss the shocking reality behind forensic audits conducted on South African physiotherapists by medical schemes. These audits, often triggered by so-called "irregular billing," are weaponised without fair investigation, due process, or clinical context.

In this revealing interview, Meyer highlights stories from her research showing how ethical, hardworking physiotherapists were accused, threatened, and financially crippled, all without ever having committed fraud or billing irregularities. The conversation addresses the misuse of Section 59.3, the lack of regulatory oversight, and the emotional ramifications these audits have taken on practitioners and their families.
