DHMS Contribution update and Discovery COVID-19 Vaccination Programme
Discovery Health Medical Assistance Scheme contributions remain unchanged until July 1 2021
The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of access to quality medical assistance, and we would like to make the start of 2021 a little easier for you.
The contributions to all Discovery Heath Medical Scheme plans did not increase on January 1 2021, and will remain at the 2020 rate for the first six months of 2021. This means that your health plan contributions will increase only from July 1 2021.
The contribution medical assistance increase to be announced in May 2021 will not be higher than 5.9%.
A delayed contribution increase further supports all our members through the first half of 2021, after a challenging 2020.
In 2021, Discovery Health Medical Scheme will also enhance benefits for a more personalised, connected health-care experience at any stage of your health-care journey.
