'Many South Africans believe medical aid means their hospital treatment will be fully covered — but this is often not the case.
As healthcare costs rise, members are increasingly faced with co-payments, sub-limits and specialist shortfalls. While your medical scheme may pay “100% of the scheme rate”, specialists can charge far more — sometimes up to 500% of that rate — leaving you responsible for the difference.
These unexpected costs can add up quickly, often reaching tens of thousands of Rands.
Gap cover is designed to help cover these shortfalls, working alongside your medical aid to provide greater financial protection and peace of mind. https://turnberry.co.za/medical-aid-out-of-pocket-healthcare-expenses-are-the-highest-ever/
Understanding your cover before you need to claim is essential. Speak to your broker about where shortfalls may occur and how gap cover can help protect you from unexpected medical bills.
