Boosting Your Medical Aid Benefits With Gap Cover

How Gap Cover Works

It is hard to not be aware of the rising costs of medical care in South Africa. With costs of even basic care increasing every year having Medical Aid has become a necessity in order to seek out quality treatment. But did you know that there is a way of boosting your medical aid benefits?

In fact, your Medical Aid won’t keep you completely covered. The truth is that many medical professionals charge more than what your medical scheme pays out, thereby boosting your co-payments, leaving you with sometimes large bills you still need to pay out of your own pocket.

Gap Cover works by boosting your cover; it eliminates co-payments. Covering not only the payment shortfalls often encountered when seeking medical treatment. But other day-to-day expenses as well as helping to alleviate the strain of co-payments.

Gap Cover is a short term insurance plan that kicks in after your Medical Aid has paid out what it can to pay out for any expenses not already covered. This leaves you with less stress and expenses to pay from your own pocket.

With medical practitioners charging up to 500% (5 times) above the set tariff rates for certain procedures and specialist treatments, Gap Cover has become as important to have as Medical Aid.
