The benefits of having gap insurance for Fedhealth are enormous. The benefits you enjoy will depend on the type of gap cover you have.
Gap cover insurance isn’t a medical aid – it’s a supplement to your medical aid because, in most instances, your medical aid isn’t able to pay your medical bills in full. You, therefore, have to belong to a medical aid to be eligible to apply for this sought after gap cover insurance.
Your gap cover insurance also isn’t liable for the entire bill. Gap cover is only liable for just the shortfall that the medical aid won’t pay.

A Typical Example of how Gap Cover Helps
South Africa has many excellent gap cover providers. No matter which medical aid you’re on, there are many of your medical treatments which the medical aid will not cover in full. If for instance, you have a heart bypass, your operation could cost more than R305 000 in South Africa, of which your medical aid might only pay R180 000 for it. The outstanding R125 000 will be for you to pay from your pocket if you don’t have medical gap cover.
Mercifully South Africa has some good gap cover providers who can help medical aid members with never having to pay these massive in-hospital amounts.
