Cover for medicine
Discovery Health covers medicine either from the Chronic Illness Benefit or from your day-to-day benefits, where applicable.
Chronic medicine
This is medicine that you need to take on a daily basis over a long period of time. Not all medicine that is taken for a long period of time will be paid as chronic.
For us to cover a medicine as chronic, we need to approve it for one of our covered chronic conditions.
