Increase in the OAL (Overall Annual Limit) – effective 1st April 2026
National Treasury annually publishes new limits under the Demarcation Regulations. As of 1 April 2026, the limit for medical expense shortfall (Gap) policies has been increased from R210,580.06 to R226,881.03. Turnberry has increased the overall annual limit on all policies we administer with these benefits, with effect from 1 April 2026. Our clients automatically qualify for the adjusted overall annual limit.

Medical aid may not cover every healthcare expense in full. Specialists can charge above medical scheme rates, while co-payments, sub-limits and network restrictions may leave you responsible for unexpected out-of-pocket costs. Gap Cover provides an additional layer of short-term insurance protection against certain medical expense shortfalls. It helps reduce the financial impact of treatment costs that are not fully covered by your medical scheme.

Unexpected medical events can happen at any stage of life. With the right Gap Cover in place, you can focus on accessing the care you need, with greater confidence
that your financial wellbeing is protected. At Turnberry, our purpose is to provide reassurance, security and support when it matters most.
