What is Gap cover? Mind the gap with gap insurance you can trust

Gap insurance, or gap cover is a great offering from iWYZE that helps you literally “fill in the gap” where your health insurance does not cover you. Whether it is an important procedure like chemotherapy or a specialised procedure, iWYZE’s gap cover will be your saving grace.

Help when you need it most

You probably took out a medical aid policy as an assurance that you will be financially assisted when you need it most, you probably also assumed you would be entirely or almost entirely covered for doctors’ visits and procedures.  Medical procedures are notoriously costly, depending on the procedure, medical aid companies tend to not cover 100% of the costs. This is where gap cover comes in. iWYZE gap cover covers some medical procedures, surgeons and anaesthetics. In-hospital medical treatments as well as out-patient treatments are covered.

When you buy gap cover, you will be assisted in paying the difference between what the hospitals or specialists are charging and the overall amount that your medical aid contributes. However, it should be recognised that, gap cover does not replace or act as a substitute for your medical aid cover, nor does it cover you for every shortfall between what you are charged and what your medical aid pays.

Unexpected medical issues

If your kids love the outdoors, you’ll know every scratch and gash can’t always be wiped away. Life happens when we least expect it. Luckily, even though you are the principle member of your iWYZE insurance, your kids and partner will be covered too.

Benefits of iWYZE’s Gap Cover
