What is gap cover?
It is a type of assurance that will settle your hospital’s bills where your medical aid does not cover. In other words, there are times that your medical scheme or hospital plan do not settle all the costs regarding your hospitalization. It is where gap cover plays a role; it will settle those fees that you will have to settle out of your pocket. It is not a medical scheme or plan, rather insurance that will settle the costs for you.
All medical practitioners, like doctors, can ask up to five times the medical aid rate. If your medical aid state that you will only have 100% cover and your doctor charge 300%, you will be held liable for the other 200% that needs to be paid.
