Gap Cover

More often than not, there will be a short-payment on your in-hospital procedures account, due to the General Practitioner or Specialist charging in excess of what your Medical Scheme covers. This can in some cases be as much as two times the Scheme Tariff.

Depending on the nature and length of time of your in-hospital procedure, this short payment could be a fairly significant amount, leaving you the member significantly out of pocket.

Admed

This product is designed for in-hospital procedures, to “fill the gap” between what is charged by your service provider in-hospital and what is covered by your Medical Scheme. The actual benefit paid is subjected to a maximum(up to two times the Scheme tariff) as per the brochure. Should your service provider charge in excess of this, then you would still be liable to cover this additional amount yourself. It is always advisable, wherever possible, to negotiate and confirm the best possible rates with your service provider to avoid excessive patient liability.
