Zestlife Claim Form Here – Complete and Submit

Here is the link to the Zestlife when you have hospital shortfalls to cover.
Some Possible Exclusions
However, any medical expense unrelated to a hospital stay. And your Zestlife gap policy will not cover any medical expense that your medical aid refuses to pay.
And remember when completing your Zestlife claim form that shortfall cover is only there to fill in the gaps. That is the gaps between what your medical scheme agrees to pay and what the actual hospital or specialist bill then is.
Read the Small Print
Importantly, when you first take out gap cover, first read the small print in the policy. Because when filling in the Zestlife claim form it is too late to discover exclusions.
For instance, you will find in a typical gap cover policy the following wording:
