* Levels 2 and 3 also offer a fixed sum to help with incidental costs incurred while in hospital as an in-patient or day-patient (a 12 month qualifying period applies for pre-existing conditions).
* All levels allow 24 hour access to health advice and telephone counselling via a dedicated phone line.
