A cover option that takes care of the shortfalls

In reality, many medical professionals and facilities charge more than what your medical scheme will pay. This leaves you open to a variety of additional payments that you need to make from your pocket.

Bloom Gap is a way to ensure that these shortfalls are taken care of, leaving you with the peace of mind you need to focus on yourself and your loved ones.

    Our Primary & Supreme Gap Cover Options

    Cover your shortfall with gap cover

    Bloom Gap offers a number of shortfall benefits with our Gap options. Please visit our compare options page or download the Gap brochure to view the complete list. 

    In-hospital shortfall

    Shortfall benefit for in hospital procedures
    We cover the shortfall between what the specialist has charged and what your medical scheme has paid, up to 3 times the amount paid by your medical scheme towards in-hospital shortfalls. Prescribed Minimum Benefit (PMB) procedures are covered under this benefit.

    Out-of-hospital shortfall

    Shortfall benefit for out-of-hospital procedures
    We cover the shortfall between what the specialist has charged and what your medical scheme has paid, up to 3 times the amount paid by your medical scheme towards in-hospital shortfalls. Prescribed Minimum Benefit (PMB) procedures are covered under this benefit.

    Co-payment benefit

    Co-payments and deductibles are commonly applied to radiology scans (MRI, CAT, PET) and specialist referral procedures, depending on your medical scheme option. Our Co-payment benefit provides you with the peace of mind that if your medical scheme levies a co-payment for an approved in-hospital or out-of-hospital procedure, which you need to pay upfront out of your own pocket, we will cover this.

    Claiming made easy

    Don't deal with the hassle that comes with insurance claims. With the submission of only a few documents when submitting a shortfall or co-payment claim, our claim process is simple and easy, so that you can get your claim paid out without the hassle.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Gap cover is a short-term insurance policy that covers the shortfall of medical expenses from hospitals or healthcare professionals that are charged over and above medical aid rates.

    Gap cover works by covering the difference between what the hospital or medical professional charges and what your medical aid pays out from your respective benefit option.

    Many medical professionals charge over and above the medical aid benefit rate. This means the shortfall or difference will have to be covered by the member, out of pocket, which can become quite costly. Gap provides a financial guardrail against shortfalls and co-payments.
