PG/MG Maximum Annual Allowances
The highest tier of state-subsidized care is funneled through the PG and MG matrix. Unlike the standard CHAS Blue limits, Pioneer Generation cardholders benefit from increased baselines—especially concerning removable prosthodontics (dentures).
| Dental Procedure | Pioneer Generation (PG) Cap | Merdeka Generation (MG) Cap |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation & Basic Test | Up to $30.00 offset | Up to $28.50 offset |
| Crowns (Restorative) | Up to $155.00 offset | Up to $148.00 offset |
| Dentures (Full Upper/Lower) | Up to $266.50 offset | Up to $254.50 offset |
