When asking a number of people whether they know what TRA Gap Cover is or what it entails, much to your surprise, responses may vary from having a general idea to having no clue at all. Now more than ever, it is especially critical to ensure that you and your family are covered through your medial gap insurance in the event of an emergency. This is where Total Risk Administrators comes in by offering tailor-made products to suit your medical needs!
There is a common misconception that you do not require a Gap Cover plan if you have a medical aid in place and that you will be 100% covered for all of your in-hospital costs. This however is an unfortunate myth told by many.
What is Gap Cover?
In its literal sense, Gap Cover is a health insurance policy to pay for the ‘gap’ or medical expense shortfall between the rates charged by private healthcare providers and what your medical aid scheme will cover for in-hospital expenses.
Depending on which policy type you choose, Gap Cover may cover all or part of the difference between the amount your medical scheme agrees to pay, and the full rates charged by the medical facility. Accordingly, Gap Cover plans are not standalone insurance policies but rather serve as supplementary insurance intended to augment your existing medical aid.
Gap Cover can make up the shortfall on payments for treatments related to several critical illnesses including cancer, renal problems, strokes, comas and heart attacks.
