Close the Shortfall in Your Medical Cover
Protect yourself from massive specialist co-payments and tariff shortfalls during hospital stays.
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.
