Limited Day To Day Cover – 8 Plans Compared

LIMITED DAY TO DAY COVER HOSPITAL PLAN – 2024 COMPARISONS

Limited Day To Day Cover: These hospital plans include Hospital Cover as well as a limited amount for day-to-day cover, e.g. consultations and medicines. This can be in the form of a medical savings account and / or a traditional benefit, which will give specific annual limits per provider type, i.e. doctors and dentistry.

This type of Limited Day-To-Day benefit does however not carry forward from year to year like savings does. Any unused benefit falls away at the end of each year.
