GLOSSARY
* More details available on the website www.camaf.co.za - for full explanations, consult the Registered Rules
ADULT Refers to the member and dependants who are 22 or older at any time in the year of cover.
CAMAF 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
CBT
% paid on different options.
Chronic Disease List - the list of PMBs includes 27 common chronic conditions called CDLs. Schemes must provide cover for the diagnosis, treatment and care of these conditions. Members must register
CDL
their conditions to qualify for benefits. Schemes can provide protocols in terms of the range (RP and Formularies) and delivery of medication (DSPs).
Condition Medicine List - once a patients 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.
CML/ FORMULARY
This is maintained by the Scheme and differs per Option. Reference pricing may still apply.
CHILD Refers to a dependant who is younger than an adult, as defined above.
DISPENSING FEES Fee negotiated by the Scheme with Network pharmacies and added to SEP.
The network of service providers contracted to provide healthcare services to members, eg. Diabetes programme (CDE), HIV programme (LifeSense) PPN for optical benefits on First Choice and Network
DSP
Choice, Pharmacy networks for all chronic medications and Netcare hospital group for Network Choice hospital admissions.
The Regulations to the Medical Schemes Act in Annexure A provide a list of conditions identified as Prescribed Minimum Benefits. The List is in the f orm of Diagnosis Treatment Pairs (DTPs). A D TP 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
DTP
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 (DSPs).
Stands 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
ICD 10 CODE of medical and health information into standard codes, e.g. Jo3.9 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.
A savings account that accrues monthly but the annualised amount of savings is available immediately and can be used for:
top up on cost of service charged by a doctor
MEDICAL SAVINGS
extension when an overall benefit has been exceeded
ACCOUNT
exclusion from benefits
payment of day to day claims on Essential Plus option
METABOLIC SCREENING Newborn screening whereby rare disorders are detected by a blood test done 48 - 72 hours after birth.
Maximum Medical Aid Price - is a reference price model and determines the maximum medical scheme price that medical schemes will reimburse for an interchangeable multi-source pharmaceutical product
MMAP
(generic) on the relevant option. MMAP applies to all options for chronic medication.
NEGOTIATED RATE This is the rate, negotiated by the scheme with the service provider/group of service providers, eg. hospitals and pathologists.
Prescribed Minimum Benefits - as set out in the Medical Schemes Act, 1998. Medical schemes have to cover the costs related to the diagnosis, treatment and care of:
Any emergency medical condition
A limited set of 270 medical conditions (Defined in DTPs)
PMB
27 chronic conditions defined in the CDL
These costs may not be paid from the members savings benefit and cost saving measures can be used by way of utilising
DSPs, Reference Pricing and Formularies.
A member must obtain prior approval for an intended admission to hospital. Failure to pre-authorise could result in wholly or partly disallowing the claim or imposing a penalty of 20% of related accounts up
PRE-AUTHORISATION
to a maximum of R 2 500. Emergency treatment is not subject to Pre-authorisation but members should notify the Scheme as soon as possible after the event.
Means a set of guidelines in relation to diagnostic testing and management of specific conditions and includes, but is not limited to, clinical practice guidelines, standard treatment guidelines and disease
PROTOCOL
management guidelines.
RISK CONTRIBUTIONS Those funds allocated to the overall pool of funds for the payment of all claims other than those paid from the Medical Savings Account.
