Gap Cover bridges the shortfall between stipulated medical aid tariffs and the charges imposed by the medical profession for in-hospital treatments. Read further for more on PMGZA gap cover.
So this short-term insurance should be seriously considered by members of medical aid schemes to ensure that they are financially covered for all hospital treatments.
Why Gap Cover?
- Thousands of medical aid members have had to face the nightmare of crippling financial shortfalls for hospitalisation. Gap cover insurance has solved the problem.
- While medical schemes state they will pay 100% of hospital bills, members often fail to READ the fine print of their contract about the cost.
- So medical Aids stipulate ceiling amounts for various treatments.
- That is all the schemes will pay. Gap cover pays the difference for low premiums starting at R99.
Private practitioners such as surgeons and anaesthetists are NOT OBLIGED to stick to those tariffs and more often than not impose bills far more than what medical aids will pay.
Gap Cover will settle that difference by up to 500% more than the medical aid rates.
