Stratum Corporate Elite Gap Cover

December 18, 2021

Given the current state of most public hospitals in South Africa, it does not come as a surprise when people would rather pay the extra Rand for private health care. Employers are aware of the condition of public hospitals, thus providing some employees with medical aid.  How excellent if today’s employee benefits include offerings to fill gaps in health care coverage. That is especially true when the employer’s medical scheme doesn’t offer sufficient coverage. The mere fact that specialist fees are outpacing medical aid suggests that corporate gap cover is an advantage for employees well worth having.
