Why Stratum™ gap cover is a necessity
Gone are days when medical aid cover was sufficient to meet the financial healthcare needs of South African families.
Medication costs are rising and medical practitioner and private hospital fees are exorbitant. They erode the value of stand-alone medical aid cover. It has also affected the cost of medical aid. Monthly premiums are going through the roof.
It is no wonder then that many South African wonder why they need more healthcare cover. However, the reality is that gap cover is no longer a luxury. In fact, it is an absolute necessity if you want to safeguard your family from unexpected and substantial financial setbacks.
Gap cover does exactly what its name implies. It covers the gap between what your medical scheme pays in terms of its prescribed tariff rate and what you are billed for your treatment or procedure by your medical professional.
Stratum™products are based on experience
Stratum has and continues to build its experience and reputationbased on nearly two decades of service. It has evolved a number of different gap cover options to suit all lifestyles and budgets.
- Benefits include options such as co-payment insurance that will cover you for those additional fees charged by your medical aid scheme for hospital admissions and certain medical procedures.
- Closing the gap, Stratum will cover you for up to 500 per cent of the difference between medical scheme tariffs and private hospital and practitioner fees.
- Another benefit is that a Stratum gap cover policy can cover you for limits and sub-limits imposed by your medical scheme for hospital procedures, oncology treatments and prosthetic limbs. The cost of these items is capped by medical schemes and without gap cover you will be personally liable for the shortfalls.
- Gap cover also offers the option of a casualty benefit that will cover treatments in the event of an emergency such as a motor accident. This crucial cover is not included by most medical aid schemes.
