The fundamentals of Freedom Essentials

The Freedom Essentials core cover has no annual limit and gives you the freedom to get inpatient medical treatment anywhere in the world. 

Inpatient and day-patient treatment

Receive a fixed cash benefit towards the cost of eligible treatment when you have to be admitted in hospital and arrange treatment directly with the hospital of your choice in the UK or abroad. If your treatment cost is less than the cash benefit received, you can keep the difference. If it’s more, you will be responsible for any shortfall.

Examples of the benefit amounts we pay can be found in the Essentials Procedure Payment Guide.
