KeyCare Plus 2024 Options & Benefits

KeyCare Plus Options And Benefits: The KeyCare Plus GP Network Plan by Discovery Health has the same advantages as the KeyCare Core plan, plus cover for network GP visits and some daily medications. The KeyCare Plus benefits cover private hospitalization in the KeyCare Network of hospitals, limited specialist cover (if referred by a network GP), and chronic medication cover for illnesses on the Chronic Disease List.

The KeyCare Plus plan is ideal for those looking for a basic hospital plan, and limited cover for day-to-day medical expenses at a low cost.

Home-based Hospital Network

Instead of being admitted to a typical hospital, Discovery Hospital at Home offers qualifying members the option of receiving hospital-level home-based treatment. The KeyCare Plus plan offers home-based care for qualifying conditions such as:

  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,
  • Pneumonia or asthma,
  • Complicated urinary tract infection,
  • Heart failure or deep vein thrombosis,
  • Cellulitis and diabetes

KeyCare Plus members are not required to use this network in the event of an emergency or if the home-based treatment is not suitable. But if you opt out from using this network after you have been advised it as part of your care, the admission will be subject to an R5,000 deductible.

KeyCare Plus Oncology Benefit

Up to 100% of the Discovery Health Rate (DHR) is covered for all cancer-related healthcare services. If you do not use the Discovery designated service provider (DSP), you may be required to pay a co-payment. But you are fully covered by the Oncology Care Programme should you decide to use a DSP.
