3 More Disaster and Major Expenses
Apart from the unlimited value benefits that fall under disaster and major expenses, there are three more with set PFPA (per family per annum) benefit value limits on claims. These include cover for MRI scans and CT scans, whether done at a hospital or other healthcare practitioner. Members should note that a set amount co-payment is required for every scan.
Additionally, members with a Platinum medical aid receive cover for rehabilitation after an operation or procedure, with each case to be studied individually and subject to certain protocols that apply to claims.
Another benefit in this category is the wound care services, aimed at assisting wound healing and the prevention of complications in wounds.
Day-to-Day Benefits Included in the Package
For those looking for medical aid with ample day-to-day benefits, otherwise known as out-of-hospital cover, the Platinum Option offers many. Each of these has its own allocated annual amount, which is available for claims and can be seen on the package’s page.
The day-to-day cover includes routine medical expenses related to general practitioner visits and specialist consultations, covering various treatments and medication. If the allocated amount has been used up, the self-payment gap applies. This means members will need to pay a certain amount to unlock the Threshold Zone, which then allows them additional cover amounts for routine medical expenses.
Furthermore, the benefit of optical services or, put simply, treatment related to eye issues, is also available with certain protocols and rules that apply for claiming. The last out-of-hospital benefit that forms part of this health cover option is pathology services, of which members will have to make a 20% co-payment on claims, and is subject to routine benefits.
