Important!
- Unless specified, assume that all benefits are paid are paid at 100% scheme rate
- No limits or co-payments can apply to treatment of PMBs, which is always unlimited, although subject to strict protocols and scheme rules.
- “Unlimited” benefits are still subject to authorisation, protocols and sublimits
- Assume that all benefits need to be pre-authorised
