Which Plan?

There are many different policies available - let us find the right one for you:

Budget

Normally, only inpatient treatment (day and overnight stays in hospital) is covered. Diagnostic tests, Consultant’s fees and outpatient treatments are not always covered. This type of policy best suits those who can afford to pay their own outpatient tests and consultants fees from savings. The policy will pay for the most expensive treatments such as operations.
