Gap Cover

Close the Shortfall in Your Medical Cover

Protect yourself from massive specialist co-payments and tariff shortfalls during hospital stays.

Introduction

What it is & Why it matters

South African medical specialists often charge up to 500% or more of the standard medical aid rate. Gap cover pays the difference between what your doctor charges and what your medical aid actually covers, shielding you from unexpected debt.
