from ECR Newswatch Interviews · host East Coast Radio - Catch Up

The scheme says it's discovered that the glitch caused claims for over-the-counter drugs and prescription medication to be paid out of medical savings accounts at higher rates than allowed under certain plans. The failure caused some members on the Executive, Comprehensive and Priority plans to reach the 'Above Threshold Benefit' earlier than expected. More news
