Stratum Elite Medical Gap Insurance
February 28, 2022
In South Africa, medical schemes have always been a way for members to feel secure that all their medical treatments are fully met. Being a member of a good medical aid should provide 100% peace of mind, but there’s something that doesn’t add up – somewhere where members are losing out. Here we look at Stratum Elite medical gap insurance.
Your Medical Aid Isn’t Co-Operating
Medical aid members have discovered that their schemes aren’t paying out in full for some of their treatments. They’ve discovered that their specialists can charge what they like and that their medical aids aren’t going to pay for when this happens.
South Africans have to do research on gap cover because some of them have learned the very bitter lesson of what happens without gap cover.
Gap Cover – a Supplement to Medical Aid
Gap cover isn’t a medical aid – it’s a short-term insurance product which pays for those shortfall amounts that your medical aid won’t pay. So you can only buy gap cover if you belong to a registered medical aid. Also, fortunately, South Africa has some good gap cover providers of which Stratum is one.
