Please include the following essential details: • Membership number. • Name of the Option. • Member’s surname and details. • Surname, initials and other details of the patient. • The practice number, group practice number and individual provider registration number of the service provider; and in case of a group practice, the practice number of the practitioner who provided the service. • Date when the service was rendered. • The nature and cost of services rendered, including the supply of medicine to the member or registered dependant, with the name, quantity and dosage of the medicine - include the net amount payable by the member for the prescribed medicine. • The relevant diagnostic (ICD-10) code, relating to the service. If the ICD-10 code does not appear on the account it should be obtained from the service provider prior to submission. • If the member has already paid the account, the original receipt must be submitted with the claim. Claims must reach us by no later than the last day of the fourth month, following the month in which the service was rendered. Accounts for treatment of injuries or expenses recovered from third parties, must be supported by a statement detailing the circumstances in which the injury was sustained or the accident occurred. Claims payments to service providers and members take place twice a month. The Scheme will supply the member with a detailed claims statement after every payment run. Should there be any irregularities on the account, the Scheme will state the reason for the error or why it is unacceptable. The member or service provider then has the opportunity to return the corrected claim within 60 days of such notice. Note: Certain service providers charge fees above those which are covered as listed in the membership guide. The Scheme will only pay providers at the rate depicted in the Benefit Schedule, usually the Scheme Rate, unless otherwise specified. The Benefit Schedule also identifies limits and sub-limits for certain services and products. To avoid members being held liable for any shortfall, it is essential they determine what providers charge upfront prior to any services being delivered. The Scheme may also exclude certain services from benefits, as set out in Exclusions (section 5.12, page 13).

• A written application to change your benefit option must reach the Principal Officer by no later than 31 December for the next year All options cover the Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMB’s), subject to Scheme Protocols. Members and their dependants are entitled to the benefits of their option during a financial year as per the Benefit Schedule listed in this handbook. Once depleted, any additional interventions that qualify as PMB will be funded according to Scheme protocols. Pre-authorisation and proof of PMB status is required for automated payment. Members should check the different option benefits, the list of approved chronic conditions (section 5.8, page 12) and exclusions (section 5.12, page 13), to ensure they select the most appropriate option to get the best possible benefits from their cover for the year.

This will be calculated from the date of admission to the Scheme to the end of the year.

10 5.2. Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMB) The Prescribed Minimum Benefits or PMB’s is a list of diseases or conditions listed in the Medical Schemes Act which schemes are required to pay for. Included in this is the Chronic Disease List (CDL list) of chronic conditions that also fall under the umbrella of PMB’s. In certain circumstances the Scheme may only provide cover for members and their dependants in provincial hospitals or at the Scheme’s appointed private Designated Service Provider (DSP) facilities. All PMB conditions will be funded according to Scheme Rules and Protocols at the appropriate level of care. The list of PMB conditions and ICD codes is available from the Council for Medical Schemes website: www.medicalschemes.com. The Scheme will only fund claims for these PMB conditions on clinical confirmation of the ICD code – such additional information includes doctor motivations as well as any supporting documents such as radiology and pathology reports or any other the Scheme requires to confirm the ICD code on accounts. The minimum level of medical cover is that provided in the state or public sector. The Scheme has certain entitlements which members have to observe to ensure cover for PMB benefits, as specified in the benefit schedule. These may include: • Designated Service Provider (DSP) – hospital networks, medical practitioners, other professional providers, dialysis, oncology, pharmacy networks etc. • Clinical confirmation of a condition, as above • Pharmaceutical formularies, including reference and MMAP® pricing • Treatment protocols, including level of care protocols • Treatment algorithms for CDL conditions and other DTPs Benefits will be restricted to PMB cover in the following circumstances: • Where a member or their dependant(s), who could reasonably have obtained a service from a preferred provider, chooses to use another provider of his/her choice, the Scheme’s liability for the costs of obtaining such services will be restricted. • Members with waiting periods imposed upon joining the Scheme may or may not have cover for PMB conditions. • Members should check this on their Terms of Acceptance letter. • Where a PMB condition requires further treatment but annual

benefits have been exhausted. • Where benefits are limited to PMB. Note: Where specific benefits are limited to PMB conditions, members may be liable for a co-payment if services are obtained from a nonDSP facility.

5.3. Dental benefits General Dental benefits can be obtained from any provider, but will be funded according to the Scheme specific rates. Preferred providers are contracted to charge and deliver services according to the Scheme specific rates. It is therefore advisable to use preferred providers to ensure no co-payments. Copayments may be applicable if members choose to use a nonpreferred provider or services not covered in their specific benefit option. The Scheme benefits and protocols, as well as the list of the preferred providers and dental rates, are available on our website on www. resomed.co.za.

No pre-authorisation is required for laughing gas or sedative medications. Conscious sedation (iv sedation) for surgical procedures require pre-authorisation and are subject to Scheme Protocols. General anaesthesia and hospitalisation Hospitalisation for dentistry is not automatically covered and is subject to pre-authorisation.

Preferred providers are contracted to charge and deliver services according to the Scheme specific rates and it is therefore advisable to use preferred providers to facilitate ease of access and ensure no co-payments. Co-payments may be applicable if members choose to use a non-preferred provider or enhancements which fall outside the option specific entitlements. The Scheme benefits and protocols as well as the list of the preferred providers and optical rates are available on our website on www.resomed.co.za. Please familiarise yourself with the defined benefit before visiting your optometrist.

5.5. Maternity programme Hospitalisation for the removal of impacted teeth in adults is available on all options. General anaesthetic benefits are available for very young children (younger than 5 years of age) for extensive dental treatment (multiple extractions and fillings), subject to admission protocols. Hospitalisation protocols: • Where an underlying medical condition creates a substantially increased risk of treatment in the dentist’s rooms and justifies admission, an authorisation may be granted. A medical report from a medical practitioner confirming the medical condition will be required. • Multiple hospital admissions are not covered. • An x-ray or clinical report may be requested to process a hospital pre-authorisation. • Hospitalisation for impacted teeth will only be authorised for pathology or severe pain based on Scheme Protocols and evidence.

All expectant members have access to the maternity programme. To register call 0861 111 778 after a blood test has confirmed the pregnancy. The member is entitled to two 2D ultrasound scans.
