Your smile. Your sight. There are some things that are worth looking after – and our Essential Extras cover is an affordable way to help you do that.
You’ll be able to get some money back on a range of things from preventative and general dental, to optical, physiotherapy and massage therapies and more. You can pair Essential Extras with any of our hospital covers – so you’re covered for the not-so-everyday too.
