– for full explanations, consult the Registered Rules

ADULTRefers to the member and dependants who are 22 or older at any time in the year of cover.
CBTCAMAF Base Tariff - the maximum rate paid by the Scheme to providers of healthcare services, based on 2009 RPL (Medical Aid) rates, increased annually by CPI. Tariff differs per type of service provider and % paid on different options.
CDLChronic Disease List - the list of PMB’s includes 25 common chronic conditions called CDL’s. Schemes must provide cover for the diagnosis, treatment and care of these conditions. Members must register their conditions to qualify for benefits. Schemes can provide protocols in terms of the range (RP and Formularies) and delivery of medication (DSP’s).
CML/ FORMULARYCondition Medicine List - once a patient’s chronic condition has been registered, a patient will have access to the CML. This is a list of drugs, appropriate for the condition, that do not require authorisation. This is maintained by the Scheme and differs per Option. Reference pricing may still apply.
CHILDRefers to a dependant who is younger than an adult, as defined above.
DISPENSING FEESFee negotiated by the Scheme with Network pharmacies and added to SEP.
DSPThe network of service providers contracted to provide healthcare services to members, eg. Independent Clinical Oncology Network (ICON), HIV programme (LifeSense), PPN for optical benefits, Pharmacy networks for all chronic medications, Netcare 911 for emergency transport, Netcare hospital group for Network Choice hospital admissions and Life Healthcare and Netcare hospital groups for Alliance Network, Double Network, Vital Network and Essential Network for hospital admissions.
DTPThe Regulations to the Medical Schemes Act in Annexure A provide a list of conditions identified as Prescribed Minimum Benefits. The List is in the form of Diagnosis Treatment Pairs (DTP’s). A DTP links a specific diagnosis to a treatment/procedure and therefore broadly indicates how each of the 270 PMB conditions should be treated. These treatment pairs cover serious and acute medical problems that include the cost of diagnosis, treatment and care of these conditions. Members must register their conditions to qualify for benefits. Schemes can provide protocols in terms of the range (RP and Formularies) and delivery of medication (DSP’s).
ICD 10 CODEStands for International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (10th revision). It is a coding system developed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) that translates the written description of medical and health information into standard codes, e.g. J03.9 is an ICD-10 code for acute tonsillitis (unspecified) and G40.9 denotes epilepsy (unspecified). These codes are used to inform medical schemes about what conditions their members were treated for so that claims can be paid from the correct benefit.
INCOMETotal cost to company prior to deductions.
