Maggi says: 28 July 2015 at 8:09 I would like to know whether the medical expenses listed on your certificate as "not covered or paid by your medical aid" is recoverable as "out of pocket" medical expenses whether they relate to medical consultations with specialists and part payment for hospital fees. In certain cases, these part payments were recovered from gap cover. |

Maggi says: 28 July 2015 at 11:35 Hi Tim. I have gap cover with Sirago, who is not a medical scheme but a stated benefit policy in terms of the Short-term Insurance Act 53 of 1998. These amount were personally paid for upfront, with receipts and proof of payments. |
