Gap Cover
This covers the difference (the shortfall or the gap) between what the medical scheme pays and the doctors and specialists charge in hospital. We settle claims at up to 200% above scheme rate to a maximum of 300% or at the stated benefit value. Subject to the OAL
Day Hospital/Clinic and/or In Room Surgical Procedures Cover
This benefit will cover the shortfall for any day hospital, clinic, or in-room procedures including acute hospitals if a policyholder elects to have the treatment that would normally be performed in hospital, done in a day hospital, clinic, or in a doctor’s room by a registered medical professional. Subject to the OAL.
Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMB) Cover
Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMB) give all scheme members access to certain minimum health benefits, regardless of your medical scheme option. Medical schemes are required to pay the full cost of diagnosis and treatment of a defined list of PMB medical conditions.
PMB Cover on this policy is only for the shortfalls resulting from the use of a non-designated service provider for a planned PMB procedure. This is not applicable in the event of an emergency. In the event of an emergency, PMB protocols should be adhered to. Subject to the OAL.
