Admed Gap Cover from Guardrisk

Guardrisk clients get cover that meets their individual needs and a range of products, including medical shortfall cover.

Guardrisk understands that having a medical aid is not a guarantee that you will have all your bills paid when you are admitted to hospital.

The majority of medical professionals charge rates that exceed the Medical Scheme Tariff Rates. That leaves the member needing to cover the shortfall themselves.

The Medical Scheme Tariff is pre-determined by your medical aid. It is based on what the medical aid believes that such treatments ought to cost.

There is no obligation on the part of the medical professionals to charge these rates, though. They will charge whatever they like and the shortfall will be for your account.
