| Each year, CMP – along with all schemes in the country – amend their benefit sets in accordance with legislation and feedback from the Registrar of Medical Schemes. This year, there will been a few changes across all HealthPact plans, as well as a change in process. |
Benefit highlights for 2012

- The CMP tariff for 2012 will be the CMP tariff for 2011 + 6.5%.
- Contributions will increase by 5.8% on HealthPact Premium 5.31% on HealthPact Silver and 7.63% on HealthPact Select.
- The amount contributed to the Medical Savings Account (MSA) on HealthPact Silver will increase from R191 to R200. The amount will remain the same on HealthPact Select.
- Sub-limits on certain benefits, like doctor and dentist consultations, will increase to counteract the effects of inflation.
- The prosthetic and implant limit will increase from R20,000 to R35,000 across all three plans, which is a 75% increase. All procedures will still be subject to pre- authorisation, as well as the provision of proper motivation and full medical information.
- Co-payments on in-hospital laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures, including sigmoidoscopies, remain the same at R1,000 across all procedures.

It will be as easy as following the instructions and prompts, making your choice from a drop-down menu, and clicking ‘SUBMIT’. |
