Quick guide to gap cover

You can expect to pay a monthly premium equivalent to 10% of your monthly medical aid quote. There are a limited number of circumstances where you will have a waiting period. The bottom line is to sign up for gap cover as soon as you possibly can. Like right away!

The premium applies to everyone on your medical aid. In other words, one gap insurance policy covers everyone on your medical scheme plan.

Important note: only members of registered medical schemes may take out gap cover. Make sure your medical cover is through a registered medical aid. Check here.

Also remember that ordinary health insurance, such as from Clientele or Hollard, is not medical aid.

Gap cover is a short-term insurance product. As such it is completely different to and separate from medical schemes. Short-term insurance products come from private assurance companies while real medical aid comes from registered (i.e. official) South African medical schemes. Once again, make sure you have medical cover from a registered medical scheme as listed here.
