Basic Cover 300 Benefits
- Your medical aid does not always cover the total costs in full. Whether payment comes from your medical scheme savings account or day-to-day benefit, the gap will be covered, provided it is for an ACCIDENT, and the treatment provided is at a casualty unit linked to a hospital.
- Sometimes the medical aid will not account for anything regarding this casualty visit, leaving you to cover the bill in full. This benefit will cover you for up to R3 000 per policy per annum (subject to the annual limit*) EVEN IF YOUR MEDICAL AID COVERS NOTHING.
- Children under the age of 8 ONLY - May be admitted for any treatment at a casualty unit linked to a hospital between the hours of 7 pm to 7 am from Monday to Friday, from 7 pm on a Friday until 7 am on a Monday, and all day on a public holiday
Sometimes accidents occur and you need to rush to casualty.
- This benefit will provide an amount of R5 000 in the event of death of the insured and / or spouse, and R2 500 in the event of the death of the dependant, caused by violent, accidental, external, or visible means.
Accidents happen! Unfortunately, some severe accidents may even result in death. The situation is made worse if that person was the main breadwinner. Costs can run into the thousands and often funds are tied up to an estate.
- Benefits: Home Drive, Uber, Panic Button, Medical Health Line, Trauma Counselling Line (including a COVID-19 care line) and Claims Submissions.

Dental Benefit: Up to an aggregate of R177 800 per insured person per annum.

Gap cover example:
hiatus hernia repair in 2019
Michelle saved R 9086.36. By choosing Basic Cover 300, you can too.
Your medical aid, just like Michelle’s, may not cover 100% of the private rate of the medical practitioner, resulting in a shortfall payment due from you.
Eliminate the financial worry from the stress of a hospital operation or stay.
