Minimum treatment descriptor

What it does not settle on its own

Questions to ask your scheme

  1. Does my diagnosis meet this DTP descriptor for PMB purposes?
  2. What treatment and public-sector protocol are you applying?
  3. Which DSP or network provider should I use, and when may I use another provider?
  4. What authorisation, referral, motivation or supporting records do you need?
  5. Please confirm the funding decision and any member payment in writing.

Plan the care and cost side separately

The DTP describes minimum PMB treatment; it is not a provider quote. For planned care, ask the provider what will be billed and ask your scheme how it will fund the exact service, codes, facility and providers involved.

SchemeBook is an educational reference. The CMS coded conditions list is a guideline; where it conflicts with Annexure A to the regulations, the regulatory definition prevails.
