I changed from a medical aid with gap cover to a hospital plan with gap cover. I don't have the gap cover tax certificate nor the expenses we paid cash for when on the hospital plan. Is this important to obtain? I think I may be able to get both.

Unfortunately gap cover is not tax deductible as it is an insurance product. The actual expenses you paid do need to have supporting documents unfortunately.
