[Answered]: Jeff has been diagnosed with glaucoma

Jeff has been diagnosed with glaucoma. His treating doctor has submitted a chronic medication application to the medical scheme, citing prescribed minimum benefits (PMB) cover should apply. Consider the statements below and select the correct option. PMBs apply only to public healthcare services and do not necessitate private medical schemes to provide cover. PMBs are universally epplicable to all medical schemes in South Africa and include specific conditions that involve emergency treatment, hospitatisation, medical management and chronic medication. PMBs only apply to hospitalisation events and medical emergencies, not chronic medication. PMBs are discretionary benefits and subject to the medical scheme’s solvency and financial capabilities. None of the options is correct. All of the options are correct.
