Siya

“Siya is grateful that he didn’t have to scramble to find, employ and train a temporary driver to step in…”

How it helped Siya and his business

01

Siya owns a small fleet of courier vans. His drivers spend most of the day on the road, and the risk of any one of them being involved in an accident is high.

Since Siya's drivers can't afford medical aid, he provides them with Accident Cover from NetcarePlus, so they can get the care they need in the event of an emergency.

How it helped Siya and his business

02

While delivering an urgent parcel, one of Siya's drivers is involved in a car accident and sustains serious injuries.

He is stabilised on the scene by Netcare 911 paramedics, before being airlifted to the nearest private hospital for emergency treatment.

How it helped Siya and his business

03

His driver undergoes emergency surgery, and his condition goes from critical to stable. He is admitted to high care before getting transferred to the general ward.

While in hospital, the driver's family receives a daily payment of R1 000, which helps them to buy groceries and pay for transport to visit him.

How it helped Siya and his business

04

Siya's driver makes a full recovery and is back at work sooner than expected.

His medical bills are covered in full by NetcarePlus, allowing him to focus on getting into a routine and reaching his delivery targets.

How it helped Siya and his business

05

Siya believes that if his driver didn't have Accident Cover from NetcarePlus, he wouldn't have received the quality care that he needed and recovered in the time that he did.

How it helped Siya and his business

06

Siya is grateful that his employees can receive the healthcare they need without any delays, enabling them to return to work as soon as possible. Disruptions to his business operations, customer service and bottom line are minimised.

Lindiwe

“Healthy, happy employees are important to Lindiwe's employers. By providing GapCare from NetcarePlus, the health and financial well-being of Lindiwe and her colleagues can be looked after”

How it helped Lindiwe

01

Lindiwe is a financial clerk at an accounting firm. She has GapCare from NetcarePlus included in her employee benefits, which ensures she is covered beyond the limits of her medical aid.

How it helped Lindiwe

02

Lindiwe needs to have her wisdom teeth removed. She is unsure of which specialist to see for the procedure, so she gets a recommendation from her dentist.

How it helped Lindiwe

03

Her dentist refers her to a specialist experienced in wisdom teeth surgeries. The specialist does not practise at a hospital in her medical aid network, but for her own peace of mind, Lindiwe books the procedure with the specialist.

How it helped Lindiwe

04

The total cost of the procedure comes to R19 287, including the hospital, specialist, and anaesthetist fees. Her medical aid only pays R9 285, which results in a shortfall of R10 002.

How it helped Lindiwe

05

Lindiwe is covered for the R10 002 shortfall under GapCare, which she otherwise would've had to pay out of her own pocket.

How it helped Lindiwe

06

The accounting firm provides all its employees with GapCare from NetcarePlus. This way, the firm can make a positive impact on the health and financial well-being of employees whose medical aids don't always cover them in full.

The scenario is for illustrative purposes only. Claims covered by GapCare will depend on medical aid payouts and the benefits available as part of the GapCare policy.
