Limit Bank
Each group of services within Extras covers has an overall limit on the amount you can claim in a specific time period. This is called the Limit Bank.
Per Service Benefit
Most CBHS Extras benefits are subject to a Per Service Benefit. Generally, the maximum benefit for an individual Extras service is 70% of the service fee up to a Per Service Benefit within the overall category limit.
Example
The maximum payment for the service 'extraction of a full tooth' is 70% of the cost up to the Per Service Benefit of $70.
If your dentist charges you $80 for this service, you would receive a benefit payment of $56 (70% of $80 is $56).
If your dentist charges you $110 for this service, you would receive a benefit payment of $70. While 70% of $110 is $77, the Per Service benefit for this service is $70 - the amount you would receive.
