Ambledown Gap Cover
Are you aware of medical gap cover? Ambledown gap cover is designed to cover the gap or shortfall that occurs when the amount paid out by medical aid is less than what is charged by the medical professionals.
If you do not have gap cover in place, you will have to pay the shortfall and these additional costs could be financially crippling and significantly affect your savings.
All medical aid plans have limits and do not pay the total expense, irrespective of how good the plan is. They will payout according to their rules and limits from 100% to 200% whereas the actual costs could be significantly more expensive. That is where Ambledown cover will assist you.
