Full cover for most surgeries: with Surgery Plus you’re 100% covered for the usual and customary charges of qualifying surgical procedures.
Cover for pre-existing health conditions: once your Surgery Plus policy has been in place for three years, then cover for qualifying pre-existing conditions is available.
