Plan 3 benefits

Plan 3 provides full cover for core in-patient benefits, out-patient CT, MRI and PET scans and radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Cover is included for psychiatric treatment and out-patient treatment is covered up to £1,000 per person, per policy year. Additional benefits include parent accommodation, private ambulance trips and NHS cash benefits.

There are an additional two options available on Plan 3:

Option a excludes psychiatric cover and gives a 5% discount on Plan 3 premiums.

Option b is a six week wait plan* (excluding psychiatric cover) which means that if the treatment required as an in-patient,
day-patient or as surgical out-patient is not available on the NHS within six weeks, then prompt access to treatment is available under the plan. Option b has a 25% discount on Plan 3 premiums.
