TL;DR
For Hurghada, travelers recommend medical insurance with no deductible: with a roughly US$30 deductible, you may have to pay that amount for each claim. It is also worth checking travel-cover offers from your bank.
For self-paid care, Jasmine Hospital was mentioned: a routine doctor visit and medicines were estimated at about 30%. A hotel hospital charge may cover only the consultation, while deductible-policy treatment may require going elsewhere.
When treatment is arranged through the insurer, medication may be provided at no extra cost if your policy has no deductible.
A policy with an approximately US$30 deductible is cheaper, but you pay the first US$30 of a covered claim yourself; eligible costs above that are handled by the insurer.
With a US$30-deductible policy, travelers report being asked to pay that amount at the first hospital visit. With standard no-deductible coverage, visits should be included.
