Sanlam Gap Cover is an expensive and inconvenient joke!

I have Sanlam Gap cover and it is a joke! I have been a member and paying for probably about 10 years, a very long time anyway. This year I had the first claim for a small procedure that was done. The procedure was done on 29 Jan 2025. I submitted 2 claims, one for an anaesthetist and one for the dr who did the procedure. Sanlam claims that their turn around time for claims is 10 business days. That is a blatant lie. The anaesthetist got paid 6 weeks later and the dr's claim was submitted on 1 April 2025. When I called yesterday to find out about the payment, I was told the claim was not captured yet. So more than 2 months later after submission and unless I phoned, Sanlam would have been unaware of this outstanding claim. Throughout the process there has also been no communication, other than, we have received your claim. I cannot recommend Sanlam, in fact I would recommend stay far away. There are many other companies offering gap cover and it may be time to explore those going forward!

To date nobody has contacted me. It seems the automated response you give all complainants is falling on deaf ears. Your colleagues have gone to sleep......
