Private Medical Insuranace

What is private medical insurance?

Private medical insurance (sometimes referred to as private health insurance or private healthcare) enables you to get private medical treatment when its needed. This is from a wide choice of professionals and through a network of 400 private hospitals across the country.

This insurance, paid for monthly or annually, gives you some protection of the cost of non-emergency private treatment, whether that’s needed for an injury or an illness, subject to the terms and conditions of your policy. Private medical insurance will give you access to treatment quicker and avoids you having to pay for treatment yourself.

Why would I need private medical insurance?

Private medical insurance gives you peace of mind that your future health is taken care of for those injuries and illnesses you aren’t expecting. It is well documented that waiting lists for non emergency treatment on the NHS are long, and this insurance gives you access to prompt treatment. Having a policy that includes extensive cancer cover also gives peace of mind for you and anyone else covered on the policy that you would be supported throughout any treatment that is required.
