Hospital Plan with Savings – 2026 Comparisons
Hospital Plan with Savings: These “hospital plans with savings” provide cover for services rendered in hospitals (both hospital and specialists incl.) and further provide a member with a limited savings account (normally available upfront) for day-to-day expenses (e.g. GP, medicines, dentist, etc.).
Once the savings account is exhausted, the member needs to pay for their day-to-day expenses from his/her pocket.

In the event of a Hospital Plan member not utilising the entire savings available for the year, the remaining balance will be carried forward to the following medical aid year.
