Common questions

What happens when my savings run out?

You enter a self-payment gap for day-to-day claims until you reach the annual threshold, after which the scheme covers further claims at scheme rate.

Do unused savings roll over?

Yes, unused savings typically roll over to the next year, subject to scheme rules, as long as you remain on this option.

Is hospital cover the same as Comprehensive?

Yes, in-hospital cover is unlimited and equivalent — the difference is purely in how day-to-day benefits are funded.
