Just like a pen needs ink, your Medical Aid needs TRA Gap Cover to make the
Gap Cover is an insurance policy that covers the gap between what your medical aid pays and what service providers charge for in-hospital procedures. Healthcare in South Africa is expensive, and most medical aids only cover part of the healthcare providers’ actual rate.
Gap Cover offers you that extra protection, covering the shortfall from your medical aid. You must be a part of a medical scheme to qualify for this health insurance product.
Please note that Gap Cover is not a medical aid, and it is not a substitute for medical aid.
TRA does not impose a general waiting period on its policies; however, condition-specific waiting periods may apply.

How TRA Gap Cover Works
with Your Medical Aid:
Here’s what you’re covered for with TRA:
Gap Cover is designed to complement your existing medical aid, not replace it. It steps in when your medical aid doesn’t cover the full cost of hospital treatments, specialist fees, or specific procedures. Rather than leaving you paying out of pocket, TRA fills the “gap”.
Always review your policy documents for specific details.
TRA Makes Gap Cover
Worth It!
*TRA Gap Cover does not apply a general waiting period to its policies. This means you get cover from day one. Most policyholders can enjoy immediate benefits, with only a limited number of procedures and conditions subject to waiting periods or exclusions (T’s & C’s apply).
Always review your policy documents for specific details.
