To de-register a deceased doctor with the HPCSA, the process involves submitting a formal notification along with supporting documents. This ensures the practitioner’s name is removed from the register and prevents further billing or correspondence.
Steps to De-register a Deceased Practitioner
- Prepare a written notification addressed to the HPCSA stating the practitioner has passed away.
- Include a certified copy of the death certificate.
- Attach any supporting documentation (e.g., obituary, funeral notice, if available).
- Submit via email or post to the HPCSA using the contact details below.
