Discovery Health's take on Regulation 8

Abstract

Dr Jonathan Broomberg, CEO of Discovery Health, and Milton Streak, the Principal Officer of the Discovery Health Medical Scheme, said both entities supported the Council for Medical Schemes (CMS) and did not agree with the Board of Healthcare Funders (BHF) in its view on Regulation 8. Discovery Health Medical Scheme and other schemes managed by Discovery Health had ‘for several years, had payment arrangements in place allowing members' access to full payment for PMB [Prescribed Member Benefit] conditions’.
