What sets MediSwitch Namibia apart from the rest?

Switching (Online, real-time claiming) between Service Providers and Administrators will be processed DIRECTLY via MediSwitch Namibia in Windhoek.
This means that ALL online real-time claiming transactions between Pharmacies and Administrators are switched locally and offers the following benefits:

Transaction time will be reduced significantly 
As the Switching transactions will be operated within Namibia, instead of routing it via South Africa, the response time will be much quicker and secure. The Service Providers will therefore have less frustration on 'time-outs' 
Minimal down time
Much lesser 3rd parties (ISP - Internet Service Providers) will be involved in the switching process. Furthermore, MediSwitch Namibia has invested in a complete back-up system, which 'mirrors' all data processed. Should our system be rendered inoperative at any time, the 'mirror system' will seamlessly continue operations without any affect to our Service Providers. 
Call centre localised with a toll free number
MediSwitch Namibia will operate with a centralised technical and customer care Support Desk in Windhoek on a toll free number 0800 11 22 33.
This will not only be a cost saving feature for Service Providers, but the communication and integration between all the parties (Service Providers, MediSwitch Namibia and Administrators) will improve drastically as all the claim and switching processes are done in Namibia.
MediSwitch Namibia ensures a 24/7 switching service availability
The real-time interface will be in operation 100% of the time (24/7) and guarantees responses back to Service Providers within acceptable timeframes. Furthermore, should you need assistance, our Support Desk will be available on a toll free number, a dedicated cell phone or telephone number. 
All data (which includes membership- and claims information) do not leave the borders of Namibia 
Up to now, this was a sensitive issue for Medical Aid Schemes. With MediSwitch Namibia, ALL Transactions and Data are kept within Namibia. Furthermore, MediSwitch Namibia’s Intelligent System is developed to be fault tolerant and has a guaranteed build-in security that protects the Administrators’ data form each other. This means that MediSwitch Namibia’s services are available to ALL Administrators/Medical Aid Funds without the fear of accessing the competitors’ data.

MediSwitch Namibia System is compatible with ALL Healthcare Software packages
'Switch' South Africa carries the benefit of over 13 years of development and research and therefore MediSwitch Namibia API has been integrated into all Retail Pharmacy Software Packages that is being used in SA and Namibia. Furthermore, MediSwitch Namibia is also compliant with ALL Software Packages of General Practitioners, Specialists, Hospitals etc. 
Software vendors in Namibia will therefore only need to change the existing switching protocol on your Software Packages to integrate with MediSwitch Namibia. This will be done free of charge to the Service Provider.
