Changes to Discovery Options on Medprax


After confirmation from Discovery we have decided to standardise the Discovery Descriptions on the Medprax Medical Aid file.

From the 6 March 2009, while some of the Discovery options will be discontinued others will only have a change of description.

The following Discovery Options will keep the same Medprax Code - only the Description will change.
