You may use the string list pattern generator at Optimize long lists of fixed string alternatives in regex:
^(?:(?:Accident Only Hospital (?:500 - Basic|750 - Basic)|B(?:asic (?:Accident Only Hospital \$(?:500 Excess|750 Excess)|Hospital Cover with \$(?:250 Excess|500 Excess)|Plus Starter Hospital \$(?:500 Excess|750 Excess))|ASIC HOSPITAL COVER|ronze Plus Simple Hospital \$(?:250 Excess|500 Excess|750 Excess)|udget (?:Family Hospital (?:Cover with \$(?:250 Excess|500 Excess)|\$750 Excess)|Hospital (?:with \$(?:1000 Excess(?: and Ambulance Levy)?|250 Excess(?: and Ambulance Levy)?|500 Excess(?: and Ambulance Levy)?)|\$750 Excess - Bronze Plus)))|Established Family Hospital Cover with \$(?:250 Excess|500 Excess|750 Excess)|G(?:old Complete Hospital \$(?:500 Excess|750 Excess)|rowing Family Hospital Cover with \$(?:250 Excess|500 Excess))|Prime Plus with (?:Nil Excess Hospital|\$(?:250 Excess Hospital|500 Excess Hospital))|Si(?:mple Start Hospital Cover|lver Plus (?:Advanced Hospital \$(?:250 Excess|500 Excess|750 Excess)|Essential Hospital \$(?:250 Excess|500 Excess)))|Top Hospital (?:with Pregnancy(?: (?:- Gold|\$(?:250 Excess(?: - Gold)?|500 Excess(?: - Gold)?|750 Excess(?: - Gold)?)))?|Cover no Pregnancy(?: with \$(?:250 Excess|500 Excess))?)))$
