Our strategic national footprint ensures that you are always covered no matter where you are in the Republic of South Africa.
WHEN WE COVER YOU
- You are covered when your service providers charge a rate considerably more than what your medical scheme pays from your medical scheme hospital benefit and not from your medical scheme savings account or day-to-day benefit
- You are covered for medical procedures performed both in-hospital as well as in doctors’ or specialists’ private rooms, day clinics or other registered facilities
- You are covered for Prescribed Minimum Benefit (PMB) medical procedures
GAP BENEFIT
WHAT WE COVER YOU FOR
Our GAP BENEFIT provides an additional 500% cover when you become liable for the difference between what your service providers charge and what your medical scheme pays from your medical scheme hospital benefit. There is no limit on the number of times you may claim per year for account shortfalls related to the following:
- Doctors or specialists
- Basic black and white x-rays (but not including specialised radiology such as MRI, CT and PET scans)
- Pathology
- Physiotherapy
- Disposable items such as surgical gloves, bandages and gauze
- Medication provided as part of your in- or out-of-hospital event
- (but not including take home medication)
Why it is important to have GAP cover?
Our GAP BENEFIT leaves you feeling assured that, when your doctor or specialist charges a rate considerably more than what your medical scheme pays, the unexpected difference you are liable for, won’t leave you out of pocket.
