2. NetcarePlus Gap Cover – Protecting You from Additional Costs
One of the most common concerns with medical aid plans is the possibility of out-of-pocket expenses when treatment costs exceed your medical aid’s sub-limits. To help alleviate this, Netcare offers NetcarePlus Gap Cover, which starts at just R299 per month.
NetcarePlus Gap Cover is designed to cover the costs that go beyond what your medical aid will pay. This includes:
- Charges above medical aid sub-limits: If a procedure or service exceeds your medical aid’s payout limits, gap cover ensures that you don’t have to pay the difference.
- Maternity Costs: NetcarePlus also offers gap cover for maternity-related expenses.
- Out-of-Hospital Specialist Shortfalls: If a specialist’s fee exceeds your medical aid’s coverage, gap cover will bridge the gap.
This additional coverage is a smart choice for anyone looking to avoid unexpected medical expenses and ensure comprehensive healthcare protection.
3. NetcarePlus GP Vouchers – Convenient and Affordable Doctor Consultations
For many people, seeing a doctor for a routine check-up or minor illness is essential for maintaining good health. With NetcarePlus GP Vouchers, you can make healthcare more accessible and convenient. These vouchers can be used for virtual or in-person doctor consultations:
- Virtual Consultations: R290 per voucher. This option allows you to speak with a healthcare professional from the comfort of your home, making it ideal for busy individuals or those who prefer remote care.
- In-Person Consultations: R350 per voucher. If you prefer face-to-face consultations, these vouchers give you the flexibility to visit a doctor in person.
GP vouchers are a cost-effective solution for individuals who may not need full medical aid coverage but still want affordable access to healthcare professionals.
4. Prepaid Procedures – Pay for Healthcare in Installments
Sometimes, medical procedures can be costly, especially if they are not covered by your medical aid plan. Netcare offers prepaid procedures, allowing you to pay for certain treatments in manageable interest-free installments. This is a great option for those who need a procedure but may not have the full upfront cost available.
You can split the total amount of the procedure into nine interest-free installments, making it easier to fit healthcare expenses into your budget. Prepaid procedures help take the financial stress out of medical care and make treatments more accessible.
