Having access to quality medical care is essential, even more so during pregnancy when leading up to the birth of your bundle of joy. Preparing for labour is critical to ensuring the health and well-being of both expectant mothers and their unborn children come first. However, the cost of such services can be a burden for many individuals and families.
Whilst not everything can be covered by a medical aid scheme or gap cover, having financial assistance along the way for certain shortfalls can make all the difference. Understanding this from the get-go, Total Risk Administrators offers the innovative solution of gap cover to ensure both mom and baby are covered. We proudly provide maternity gap cover to ensure various shortfalls during hospitalisation related to labour are accounted for and covered.

TRA Gap Cover is designed to bridge the financial gap between medical aid scheme benefits and the actual cost of medical expenses needed.
By offering supplementary coverage to work alongside a medical aid scheme, TRA ensures that expectant mothers can access the necessary in-hospital services without fearing exorbitant out-of-pocket expenses. This allows your budget to meet your needs in receiving the required healthcare when needed most.
