The Importance Of Gap Cover
With ever-rising medical costs, it is important to be as covered as one can be. You might already have Medical Aid, but Medical Aid Schemes can only cover you and your family in part.
This is due to the set tariff amounts. These normally only go to 100% or 200% of your received medical bills. But medical providers can often charge up to 500% above what Medical Aid schemes can cover you for. Leaving you with an often large sum to pay out of pocket.

Gap Cover, however, comes in at this time. Designed to work alongside your Medical Aid, Gap Cover acts to extend and boost your Medical Aid. Paying out to cover this shortfall in expenses as well as providing coverage in areas where Medical Aids don’t completely cover you.
Such as in terms of specialist services, MRI and CT scans as well as covering you for necessary procedures both in and out of the hospital.
In these uncertain times, we can’t afford to not know that our and the health of our loved ones are fully protected. With Gap Cover, you can have this assurance. Gap Cover does not replace your current Medical Aid. Anyone with a Registered South African Medical Aid Scheme can apply for Gap Cover.
