    Your Monthly Premiums Explained

    The cost of gap cover is structured on the entry age of the oldest person joining the policy as well as the family size.

    Our integrated Cover Pay Level (CPL) structure also offers a lower monthly cost if you are on a richer medical scheme benefit option. If your benefit option covers medical specialists for in-hospital treatment at 200% or more of scheme tariff, then the CPL-200 costs will apply to your cover. If the in-hospital medical specialist cover is at 100% of scheme tariff, then the CPL-100 costs will apply.
