Note:

  • Classic Plans pay specialists at 200% scheme rate.
  • Essential plans pay specialists at 100% scheme rate.
  • Delta Plans require you to use a Network for overnight procedures. Almost all plans require network hospitals for day procedures.
  • Coastal Plans limit you to usage of hospitals in coastal provinces only, unless an emergency
  • Capitated Plans require usage of strict networks. Premiums are adjusted to your income level.

// Comprehensive Series:

These plans may have a savings account, a self payment gap and a generous Above Threshold Benefit (ATB). The Executive Plan has an unlimited ATB, which makes it the top plan for Discovery. (Read about ATBs here).
