2008 MEMBER GUIDE

9. MEDICINE BENEFIT
   
PATHFINDER applies a well researched and comprehensive formulary of drugs to the different options. The Pathfinder formulary consists of acute, chronic and chronic PMB medicines.
   
Trail members have access to a relatively wide but yet restrictive formulary which is applied in terms of all medication. This formulary consists of mostly generic products. Where no generic medicines are available, branded products have been made available.
   
If medicine items are claimed which do not form part of the Pathfinder formulary, the claim will be rejected by the Scheme.
   
MMAP (Maximum Medical Aid Price) as well as MAC (Maximum Allowable Cost) is applied to all medicines.
To view the Pathfinder formulary please visit our website (refer to the Pathfinder Contact list).
