Above-threshold benefit

Scheme cover that resumes once annual day-to-day spending passes a set amount.

South African healthcare & funding

Above-threshold benefits apply on certain scheme options once your day-to-day claims for the year exceed a defined amount. Cover is usually limited to specified services and scheme tariff rates, so check whether fertility-related consultations, scans and medicines qualify before assuming they will be paid.

Also known as: ATB, threshold benefit
