What couples typically need from medical insurance

• Predictable monthly pricing so both partners can plan household finances.
• Day-to-day care for GP visits, basic dentistry and acute medicines for minor conditions.
• Robust in-hospital protection for surgical care, admissions and theatre fees.
• Access to remote consultations with a healthcare practitioner for quick advice.

Benefit breakdown - how a combined approach helps

• Day-to-day benefits reduce out-of-pocket costs for routine appointments and acute medication.
• Hospital cover handles high-cost events so one unexpected admission does not derail savings.
• Choosing plan options lets you prioritise which benefits matter most within your monthly budget.
