Ambledown Financial Services

Ambledown Financial Services is a South African provider of health-related insurance and primary care solutions, supporting individuals and families with the financial challenges of healthcare costs. For more than 21 years, the company has developed products intended to help customers access care with greater financial confidence. Its gap cover helps bridge the difference between medical scheme payments and practitioners’ charges for in-hospital treatment and defined out-patient procedures. Benefits across its plans include medical aid shortfall, co-payments, sub-limits, cancer augmentation and casualty ward cover.

Ambledown also offers Primary Care through Unity Health, a division established to provide a cost-effective solution for people who cannot afford medical scheme coverage. The company describes its plans as tailored and affordable, with pricing designed to balance value and long-term sustainability. Its services include claims administration and risk management, supported by an efficient claims process. Ambledown says it has more than 150,000 gap cover policyholders nationwide and administers health-related policies providing financial security to over a million South Africans.
