Quick explanation of gap cover
- Rest assured that the cover kicks in immediately once you have signed up.
- The purpose of gap insurance is to prevent huge copayments on your hospital and specialist bills.
- Did you know that even if you medical aid says it covers 100% of your expenses, actually it does not. It pays out 100% of their listed price only.
- Medical aid is entirely separate from gap insurance. That is because medical aids are statutorily limited organisations under the watch of the Council of Medical Schemes.
- Gap insurance, on the other hand, is an insurance product and therefore falls under the regulations for Short-Term insurers.
- This type of insurance is extremely affordable. It amounts to about 5% to 10% of your monthly medical scheme premiums, making it super-affordable.
- Some of the major providers are Zestlife, Turnberry, Sanlam and Sirago.
