Chronic Disease List (CDL)

Home » Our Medical Aid Plans » Additional Information on Benefits » Chronic Disease List (CDL)

This Chronic Disease List (CDL) is a prescribed minimum benefits list that ensures all medical aid schemes fund the cost of the diagnosis, medical management (consultations and procedures) and medication of a specified list of 26 chronic conditions.

These conditions are covered in full in terms of the Scheme rules if services are rendered according to the Scheme’s benefits, treatment plans and protocols, CDL medication lists, and claimed with the correct diagnostic (ICD-10) codes.

These conditions are covered on all of Profmed’s options, but benefits will be more or less restrictive depending on the benefit option that you have chosen.
