What is Gap Cover?
Gap cover is a short-term insurance product that helps protect you from medical expense shortfalls, which happen when your doctor charges more than the medical aid rate for in-hospital treatment, or the hospital charges copayments for operations. These unanticipated expenses can leave you with an unexpected financial burden that you will have to pay for out of pocket.
Are the rates affordable
Turnberry offers different products to suit a range of diverse needs and financial requirements. A medical expense shortfall is the difference between what medical service providers (e.g. Doctors, basic and specialised Radiology, Pathology, Specialists, Consultants) charge and what Medical Schemes pay for the treatment performed in hospitals and day clinics, provided that it is paid from the Hospital Benefit or risk benefit of the Medical Scheme.
Will it cover my whole family
Turnberry’s Gap Cover Plan is the umbrella sheltering your entire family. All of the plans offer a vast range of benefits to cater for unforeseen medical expense shortfalls with additional benefits. Turnberry’s premium is per family per month.* T&C’s apply. Turnberry offers family rates and individual rates.
Is it worth having the extra expense
Gap cover has become an essential component of any financial portfolio to protect you against potentially crippling medical expense shortfalls, no matter how young and healthy you are. Often it is the unforeseen that can result in the most significant medical expense shortfalls, but with gap cover in place you can protect your financial wellbeing alongside your physical health.
