The Managed Care Plan offers you access to an Oncology management programme to assist with the management of cancer. Registration is compulsory.

Anglo Medical Scheme offers a Disease Prevention Programme designed to support members who are at risk of developing diabetes, to improve health outcomes and quality of life. Whether you are at risk and eligible to join the programme depends on results of your health check assessments.

Day clinics are healthcare facilities that provide surgical services and diagnostic procedures performed in an operating theatre on a same-day basis. They offer convenient alternatives to overnight hospital stays. Avoid co-payments for procedures such as endoscopies and cataract surgery done in day clinics instead of hospital.

The Dentistry Benefit on the Managed Care Plan includes conservative treatments, including fillings, x-rays, extractions and oral hygiene. Specialised treatments including crowns, bridges, inlays, study models, dentures, orthodontics, osseo-integrated implants or similar tooth implants and periodontics.

We cover diabetes mellitus types 1 and 2 under Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMBs).

The Eye Care Benefit on Managed Care Plan includes Lenses, frames and refractive surgery limit of R4 625 per family per year and R515 for an eye examination per beneficiary per year.

This includes consultations, lenses, frames, contact lenses and surgery (for cosmetic purposes) or any health care service to correct refractive errors of the eye, like excimer laser. Upon depletion of the Optical benefit and the eye examination limit, claims will automatically be paid from available funds in your Medical Savings Account.

Claims paid from the Optometry Benefit are reimbursed at the Scheme Reimbursement Rate. Should you wish to have the excess paid from your Medical Savings Account, you need to complete the "MSA Exception Form" in every instance.

If you require cataract surgery with intra-ocular lens replacement you need to get authorisation on 0860 222 633.

Phone the Call Centre team to confirm which day clinics you can use to avoid a co-payment.

Medically related frail care services where clinically appropriate will be funded according to Scheme protocols.

Anglo Medical Scheme offers HIV-positive members and their dependants a confidential management programme, aimed at keeping them well and providing access to increased benefits to help manage their condition more effectively.

These are external appliances provided by a Discovery Health network of orthotists and prosthetists. The Medical and Surgical Appliance Family Limit is R20 515. Authorisation is required for appliances over R3 280 each. You are responsible for the difference in cost when using a non-DSP.

A Medical Savings Account (MSA) holds the funds that you can use to pay for a set list of healthcare services and products, such as procedures, medicine, consultations and more. Each January, you receive an advance allocation for the year. A portion of your monthly contribution is then used to pay this back to the Scheme every month. During the year you have the flexibility to use the funds in your MSA as you need them. Any MSA funds still available in your account at the end of the year will roll over to the next year. Savings carried over from previous years allow you to build up a healthy savings balance for a time when you need extra medical cover.

The Managed Care Plan offers rich benefits for chronic medicine. Acute medicine, homeopathic and Pharmacist Advised Therapy (PAT) medicine will be paid at 100% of the Single Exit Price (SEP) from your MSA. The Scheme has a dedicated medicine management team to help you reduce out-of-pocket expenses for medicine and to manage your chronic medicine benefits.

All medical schemes in South Africa have to include the Prescribed Minimum Benefits in the plans they offer to their members.

This benefit applies to a specified list of specialised medicine.
