Coding Masterclass

Brenda Gous joined the South African Private Practitioners Forum as Senior Coding Specialist in 2018. She has more than twenty years' practical/operational coding experience in local and international coding schemas. SAPPF is a vibrant and growing organisation, committed to support private practitioners in optimising service conditions and improve access to healthcare for more South African residents.
Brenda's training includes Basic International ICD-10 training (National Centre for Classification in Technology, Brisbane, Australia) and Advanced International ICD-10 training with Eve Jones from the UK.
In 2013 Brenda was appointed by the Minister of Health to be part of the Ministerial ICD-10 Task Team and to continue as chairperson of the Training Sub-Committee.
Projects driven by Brenda include the implementation and management of PMBs; clinical validations of PMB claims; the implementation of systems driven processes based on ICD-10; ensuring compliance on the different phases of the ICD-10 at organisation level for reporting to CMS and the management of CPT® contracts based on Medicare coding rules which involved Surgicom members.
As a member of the SAPPF team, Brenda advises member groups on new code development and implementation as well as coding reviews and forensic enquiries.
During 2021 and 2022 she has been responsible for a major review of general surgical coding and the introduction of new codes, both of which have required a code-by-code cross walk from CPT to the SAMA codes.

Personnel Interaction

Associate, BSc Eng (Metallurgical), MSc Eng (Mechanical)

Dieter grew up in Johannesburg as one of two sons to German parents. After completing his undergraduate degree and compulsory military conscription, Dieter moved to the Western Cape where he worked in the defence industry and subsequently completed his Master’s degree at UCT. From there he moved back up to Pretoria where he worked in research before joining the team at Tiger Wheels Manufacturing, an international supplier of automotive aluminium wheels. Here his career went from design to 24hr production management, and finally an appointment to the board as the company’s HR Director.

It was during this time that Dieter began to appreciate the inevitable interplay between people, process and technology to achieve desired outcomes, and spent much of his time training himself and his team in leadership skills, specifically servant-leadership. Dieter describes this period as one of the most rewarding growth phases in his career.

Dieter then went into the consulting industry, where he has spent almost two decades, consulting initially on business process optimisation, where he was the Western Cape regional manager for a boutique consulting firm, and then in leadership development and coaching after attending an intense program with Maxwell Leadership in the USA.

Dieter lives in a small village outside of Mossel Bay with his wife Marita, and is a keen trail and road runner. While they enjoy exploring the off-the-beaten track areas in the Garden Route, they are often found elsewhere in the country for both work and personal reasons.

Dieter believes the style and culture of future leadership depends on us all to be good role models for future leaders, and is therefore passionate in developing himself and others to be just that, which prompted him to author his book Decision Point: How the decisions you make, make you. He was introduced to the Legitimate Leadership framework in 2023 which strongly resonated with his beliefs, leading him to join the Legitimate Leadership team.
