The process

How Gap Cover Works

STEP 01

Your Medical Scheme Pays First

Your medical scheme covers your treatment according to their own rates and benefits, settling their portion of the specialist or hospital account.

STEP 02

Providers Charge Above Scheme Rates

When providers charge more than your scheme rate, you are left with a shortfall. This amount, often thousands of rands, comes directly out of your own pocket.

STEP 03

We Cover the Shortfall

Our gap cover pays towards the difference, subject to policy limits, protecting you from unexpected medical costs and giving you genuine peace of mind.
