What protection does one get from Talksure gap cover?
- Dubbed Gap Direct, Talksure offers gap cover protection that covers any shortfall between your medical aid and hospital fees
- Most medical aids only cover in-hospital expenses 100% where in reality costs can go over 500% in some cases
- Medical gap cover works hand in hand with medical aid so as to provide you with total medical expenses coverage
- And included in Gap Direct insurance is is between a 100% to 500% coverage for a number of out-patient and in-patient procedures
What Gap Direct protection covers
Gap Direct medical aid gap cover protects you against sudden, unexpected medical bills that total more than your medical aid set limits. That is because medical aid plans do not protect their members against hospital expenses 100%. And that is because 100% is, at minimum, the absolute least amount chargeable, and not, 
as many believe, the maximum.
Significantly, the definition of gap cover is the difference between the sum that medical aid schemes will pay and the charges attributable to medical practitioners for in-hospital procedures. This is because for some time now, most South African private specialists have charged over 100% for most procedures. This means it is becoming more prevalent for a medical aid member to receive a medical bill for every hospitalisation even with 100% medical aid cover.
