Discovery Health

• Discovery average plan increase for 2018 are 9.2%
• Increase in pensioner subsidies is based on the September CPI of 4.91%
• It will thus be more problematic to keep up with the cost of medical care
• The subsidies are payable by Momentum
• We appreciate it that Necsa continues to honour their obligation in paying
  these subsidies
• Please ensure that your plan option is the most suitable and affordable.
  PSG has sent out letters to members who are probably not on the right plan
• Use the consulting services of Necsa and PSG who are available here
  today and the next few days at Necsa
