Hospital Plan with Savings – 2024 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.
