Discover the benefits of our Day Surgery Network in 2025!

Day surgery, also known as same-day surgery, is a medical practice where patients undergo surgical procedures and are discharged from the hospital on the same day. It is typically used for minor surgeries that have a low risk of complications. The treating specialist and/or surgeon will indicate whether day surgery is a safe option for you.

• Network: Included in our Network are a range of day surgery facilities and acute hospitals in each of the 9 provinces.
• Pre-authorisation Process: If your treating healthcare provider has indicated day surgery for you, you must contact Libcare at least 48 hours prior to admission to request pre-authorisation of your procedure. Your treating healthcare provider can assist you through the process.
• Save on co-payments: To ensure your healthcare provider operates within the Day Surgery Network and to avoid co-payments, please contact us at 0800 1222 73 or click here to locate your nearest Day Surgery Network facility and confirm your provider's status.
