Gap Cover for Registered South African Medical Aids

Curemed Gap Cover for All South African Medical Aids
South Africans have been at odds with their medical aids for some years regarding their high monthly premiums. They’re fed up with having to pay high premiums and not get full cover. That is why you need Curemed Gap Cover.
The difference between what their medical aid will pay and what the medical specialist charges are causing untold stress.
South Africans have believed that when a medical aid says it offers 100% coverage, it means comprehensive cover.
But this isn’t so. Medical specialists charge rates that are way above the 100% that medical schemes pay, and you have to pay for this shortfall amount, not the medical aid.
Curemed Gap Cover to the Rescue
Providers of gap cover saw this discontent and rose to the challenge. They’ve come up with a cover that ensures that it’s not the medical aid member who will pay these shortfalls but the gap cover provider themselves.
South Africa has many good, registered medical schemes. A stint in a government hospital has convinced many South Africans that having a medical aid scheme is a necessity. There are very few people who can afford quality health – very few who have the resources to pay cash for a lengthy stay in the hospital because of a sudden illness or accident.
Medical Aids are Disappointing
South Africa may well have a number of good medical aid schemes, but the truth is they’re going to disappoint you. They pay according to the price guideline of the medical scheme tariffs, and if a specialist charges you far more, they only pay up to a point. The excess amount the specialist charges you will be for you to pay out of your pocket.
