Annual Threshold

Annual Threshold

We add up the Discovery Health Rate of the day-to-day claims you send us. When your day-to-day claims reach a fixed rand amount - what we call the Annual Threshold - we pay claims from the Above Threshold Benefit, if you are on an Executive, Comprehensive or Priority plan. We set the Annual Threshold amount at the beginning of each year.

You can view the Annual Threshold amounts here.
