*Premiums are based on your risk profile and the number of members on your medical scheme plan. If your spouse is on a separate medical scheme plan, they will have to take out a separate Discovery Supplementary Illness Benefit policy.

**Any claims will be deducted from the accumulated PayBack amount in that year. The Annual PayBack calculation will exclude payments made under the Comprehensive Premium Protector.
