  • Greater freedom to choose healthcare professionals.
  • Access to private medical specialists.
  • Possibility of reimbursement for eligible medical expenses.
  • Potential access to doctors outside an insurer's medical network.
  • Greater flexibility when arranging private consultations and treatments.
