Gap cover insurance is essential for covering shortfalls after medical treatments like surgeries or hospital stays where the specialist’s fees are higher than what your medical aid covers. Once your medical aid has processed and paid their portion of the bill, you can claim the remaining amount from your gap cover provider, according to the terms of your policy.
