Who will cover your Medical Expense Shortfall?<\/strong><\/h3>\nContact Turnberry to get a Gap Cover Policy that covers your medical expense shortfalls and gives you peace of mind while navigating through the difficult cancer journey.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/i><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>Traditional Cancer Cover<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you have depleted your cancer benefit on your Medical Scheme, you may become liable for co-payments or the full cost of any further cancer treatment, as specified by your Medical Scheme.<\/p>\n
Example 1: <\/strong>Johan who has lung cancer has finished his R250 000 cancer benefit available to him on his Medical Scheme and now he is liable for the full cost of his cancer treatment. Johan still needs to undergo chemotherapy sessions. Luckily, he has a Turnberry Premier Policy and he can submit the costs of his further chemotherapy sessions to Turnberry.<\/p>\nExample 2: <\/strong>Deon has finished his R250 000 cancer benefit available to him on his Medical Scheme and still needs to undergo chemo-therapy. His Medical Scheme will pay for 80% of the account for his chemotherapy. Deon is glad he listened to his Financial Advisor and took out a Turnberry Optimal Policy, now he can submit the account to Turnberry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![](\"https:\/\/turnberry.co.za\/2027\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Cancer-Lady-sq.jpg\" "\\"Cancer")

<\/span><\/div>I wanted to write to you to thank you formerly for your incredibly, refreshing service excellence. As you know we had an unfortunate mishap with a claim payment paid into an incorrect account, Sadly the bank refused to return the funds to you, yet you still honoured your brand ethos and committed to take the huge loss and repay the funds into the account which had been requested. I wanted to write to you to thank you for your commitment to your customers. It was incredibly refreshing to receive the payment in good faith, as I can assure you, I would have NEVER received this kind of commitment from any other medical aid or GAP cover provider. I will endeavour to give your company and your brand as much positive recommendation on social platforms that I can and felt it was crucial that I write to you to let you know that I will be a customer of Turnberry for life and I truly thank you for honouring your commitment to us. We appreciate your service and your service excellence.\u00a0 I am very proud to be a client of Turnberry. Thank you once again for your phenomenal service.\u00a0 Collette Roetz<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Turnberry assisted with claims for various incidents during the last few years \u2013 from an elective orthopaedic surgery for my young daughter to emergency surgeries for my wife.\u00a0\u00a0 When my wife was diagnosed with cancer last year, the once-off payment assisted in a number of the out-of-hospital expenses. In addition, the knowledge that the expenses threshold is so much higher than the standard medical rates provided peace of mind.\u00a0 I have recommended Turnberry Gap Cover to our family, and reiterate that it is an essential or mandatory product. No healthy person believes critical or emergency procedures will happen. But the truth is that it can happen to anyone. The cost vs benefit is not a logical debate, without gap coverage you may end up selling assets to cover the bills.\u00a0\u00a0 Turnberry\u2019s services were professional, quick and efficient \u2013 \u2018Peace of mind\u2019.\u00a0 Mynhardt Oosthuizen<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>I have been a Turnberry Management Risk Solutions customer since 2016, after my financial advisor encouraged me to take out a gap cover plan to bolster my medical aid hospital plan. My plan gives me up to 600% cover for medical scheme shortfalls, which was a real blessing when I was diagnosed with a double pulmonary embolism in August 2020.\u00a0 \u00a0I was in hospital for five days and saw numerous doctors. I had many tests done including x-rays, CT scans and MRIs. When I was discharged, the bills started to arrive, and each doctor had shortfalls that my hospital plan would not cover. Luckily, I had gap cover in place, and Turnberry took care of these shortfalls so that I could focus on my recovery.\u00a0\u00a0This was the first time I had claimed from my gap cover, but the relief of knowing that I had cover took away a lot of stress. My broker took me through the process and once I submitted all of the required documents, the claim was assessed and paid out within a few days. I then had to have a follow-up MRI with a co-payment which was not covered by my medical aid, and Turnberry again came to my aid.\u00a0\u00a0Going from healthy to hospitalised is not something you expect, but in reality, it can happen to anyone, and the last thing on your mind is how you will pay for the bills. I learned this the hard way when my mother was diagnosed with cancer and did not have medical aid or gap cover, and the financial pressure of trying to fund her treatment was enormous. This is a burden nobody should have to deal with, which is why gap cover is absolutely essential.
