NetcarePlus GapCare offers a wider choice of healthcare options
NetcarePlus products allow for affordable access to private healthcare.
It happens — accidents and illness. At some point in all our lives, whether to us or those we love, it is foresight regarding these unfortunate events that motivate people to invest in medical aid.
So, whenever the need for medical aid arises, it’s usually already a difficult situation.
These circumstances can be stressful and even traumatic, depending on the severity of the condition and the treatment required.
Compound this with unexpected costs not covered by medical aid, and an already challenging situation goes from bad to worse.
NetcarePlus GapCare from Netcare provides access and affordability to those looking to experience the full benefits of private healthcare.
Moreover, it acts like a shock absorber for costs not covered by medical aid and unexpected co-payments, softening the blow of what is usually a trying event in the life of an individual and their loved ones.
With the right solution, financial constraints don’t need to compromise the quality of healthcare.
“Private healthcare needs to be part of the funding solution, and more creative options are needed now more than ever to answer to the complexities of the South African health environment for the benefit of more South Africans,” says Teshlin Akaloo, Managing Director of NetcarePlus.
In a bid to offer exceptional healthcare and insurance services to individuals as and when required, either for themselves or someone else, NetcarePlus has introduced NetcarePlus GapCare.
What makes GapCare so competitive is that it provides cover for emergency department costs that are not limited to accidents, additional cover for day-to-day expenses when medical scheme limits have been reached, or savings have been depleted, including coverage options for high-risk pregnancies and other maternity-related benefits.
Previously available through intermediaries, The NetcarePlus GapCare range is now available directly to individuals on the Netcare website, where the sign-up process can be concluded within minutes.
NetcarePlus offers GapCare, GapCare300+ and GapCare500+, a comprehensive selection of gap cover for the shortfall in medical expenses to members of any medical scheme.
Minimising financial strain
Anyone requiring healthcare that is not fully covered by their medical aid might feel that the treatment options available are limited or even inaccessible if they do not have the finances to pay for these additional costs.
NetcarePlus GapCare — underwritten by Hollard Insurance Company Limited — addresses these medical scheme limitations and provides full access to world-class treatment from specialists and hospitals.
“Life can be unpredictable, but healthcare costs don’t have to be,” explains Teshlin Akaloo, managing director of NetcarePlus.
“Given the current climate of uncertainty and unemployment, there has never been a greater need for new, affordable ways to access private healthcare to ensure that taking care of medical needs does not impact household budgets with unexpected out-of-pocket expenses.”
The bigger picture is a Plus
Many medical schemes have network restrictions limiting access to certain hospitals or specialists and do not always provide cover for shortfall expenses, and this can leave households out of pocket.
Shortfalls covered by NetcarePlus GapCare are for any hospital and are not restricted to the use of Netcare hospitals only.
To further provide you with a holistic cover for your healthcare needs, NetcarePlus GapCare takes care of the shortfalls when you have reached the sub-limits applied by medical schemes.
These include specific in-hospital medical procedures, prosthetic devices, extended stays in mental health, rehabilitation, step-down or sub-acute facilities, and trauma counselling.
Cover your healthcare needs beyond your medical aid’s limits from just R275 a month. Get an immediate quote online for a new affordable way to get private healthcare.
