Liberty Medical Gap Cover Costs

March 1, 2022

Liberty is another insurance provider that offers Gap Cover to protect you from being held personally responsible for the payment of large medical bills not covered free by your medical aid scheme.

Medical aid schemes work to a specified tariff rate which almost invariably falls way short of what professional healthcare providers charge for their services. These shortfalls can reach a staggering 500%, exposing members without Gap Cover to financial ruin.

Increasingly, South Africans are accepting the cold hard facts about the cost of medical care in the country and are supplementing their medical aid benefit with the added protection of Gap Cover. This is a form of short-term insurance with very affordable monthly premiums.

Liberty Gap Cover offers:

  • Up to 500% above what medical aid tariff rates

  • Suicide
  • Self-harming
  • Injuries arising from acts of war or crime
  • Dental procedures
  • Hormone and fertility treatments
  • Obesity
  • Cosmetic surgery
  • Oncology treatment outside South Africa
