Health/Gap Insurance

So, What Exactly Is Gap Health?

Simply put, it is coverage for the additional costs incurred due to increased deductibles, copays and co-insurance.

It is an additional policy which, when combined with a higher deductible medical plan, provides more coverage for medical expenses which, many times, go unpaid because of the high deductible, copays or coinsurance.

Gap Plans complete a health plan because they pay the large deductibles and copays for inpatient and outpatient services.

Why Employees Need A Gap Insurance Plan?

The answer to this question largely depends on your employees, their health requirements, and the type of health care plan they have.

If an employee is suffering from a chronic illness and requires frequent visits to the hospital combined with the expenses of other treatments and medical-related expenses, most supplemental plans would not be covered nor could they get covered. They can be covered by adding Gap Health. With Gap Health, they would be covered immediately. 

All employees, who are enrolled in Gap Health along with a Primary Health plan, pay a monthly premium amount which is considerably lower than a comparable health plan.

As health insurance costs, deductible and copays and coinsurance, continue to escalate, your staff may not be able to cover medical expenses with their salaries. This makes Gap Health a crucial benefit to add with any health plan you choose.
