This can include services such as help with housework, home delivery of medicines, physiotherapy at home, and premium reimbursement (within policy limits).
You also have cover for healthcare following an accident at work or a road traffic accident, plus emergency travel assistance abroad for short stays, plus dental services, and access to digital healthcare through the App.
