Your medical aid is no longer enough on its own.
Here's something most people don't realise until it's too late: medical aid schemes pay based on a set tariff rate. But South African specialists routinely charge 300% to 500% of that tariff - and sometimes more. The shortfall? That's yours to cover.
Gap Cover exists specifically to bridge that gap. It's an affordable add-on that protects you from surprise bills after hospital procedures, surgeries, specialist visits, and more. It covers co-payments, tariff shortfalls, and high-cost treatments such as specialist surgery and oncology.
Don't wait until you're facing a hospital invoice to wish you'd sorted this out. Speak to your Lighthouse Group broker today.
