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.
When deciding if this product is right for you, please refer to the CBHS Health Benefit Fund Rules. This information should be read carefully and retained.
