Gap Cover

This provider offers 'known gap' or 'no gap' cover for medical bills for this product.

The Medical Costs Finder lets you find out more about the cost of specialist medical services.

Other features of this hospital cover

We do not have a preferred-provider-network-arrangement, but operate a MediGap scheme aiming to eliminate the 'gap' payments for specialist fees in hospital. When a specialist chooses to participate in MediGap, they agree not to charge an out-of-pocket expense for your procedure. We do this by building a network of specialists who may agree to receive a higher benefit from us than they would ordinarily receive. In exchange, they do not charge you an out-of-pocket expense. Ask your specialist if they'll MediGap for you!
