Medway Helps with Those Out-of-Control Medical Aid Co-Payments

December 12, 2021

Medical aids have always been a trusted source of quality health care. A common complaint however, in recent years, is that they’re paying less and less for their members. That’s where Medway gap cover comes into the equation.

Members are also contributing more than ever. They’re disgruntled that their massive monthly premiums don’t cover everything. Gap cover providers such as Medway have heard this complaint and they’re stepping in to fill the gap.

This gap exists when specialists charge way over what the medical aids are prepared to pay. Without gap cover you would have to pay the shortfall amount yourself. These amounts can run into thousands of Rands.
