Do you qualify for Discovery CGM cover?
Are you a Discovery Medical Aid Scheme member living with type 1 diabetes? Not sure whether you qualify to have your sensor technology covered?
Find out below!
Discovery offers cover for CGM sensors up to a monthly amount on all health plans except KeyCare plans.
To qualify, you must be registered for type 1 diabetes on the Chronic Illness Benefit and a CGM network doctor must prescribe the device.
For adult members on the Executive and Comprehensive plans, CGM sensors will be funded up to 100% of the monthly limit to a maximum of R1 560.
For children up to the age of 18, CGM sensors will be funded up to 100% of the monthly limit of R1 560 for all plan types except KeyCare.
For adults on all other plan types (excluding KeyCare plans), CGM sensors will be funded up to 50% of the monthly limit to a maximum of R780.
Claim your sensors from Pharmacy Direct, Medipost, or M-Kem.
If you claim from a pharmacy not listed above, the price of each sensor may be greater than the approved Discovery CGM benefit amount.
