Are you looking for a Private Medical Insurance Policy? Whether you are looking for individual cover, family cover or a policy for your business, our 7 good reasons will apply.
Shorter waiting times via Private Medical Insurance.
With a health Insurance policy in place you will be able to receive treatment as soon as you need it. You can even select a date which is convenient for you rather than not knowing when your treatment will take place. Your policy can help you to avoid joining the NHS waiting list.
Recover in your own private hospital room
With Private Medical Insurance you generally have the privacy of your own room, usually with en suite facilities. This means you can avoid being with other patients on a busy ward during your recovery period. When you feel unwell, sometimes you really do not want to be with other people.
Choice of consultant and hospital
Having health insurance in place means you get to choose where you are treated and which consultant you will be treated by. You need to ensure that the hospital is on your selected list and the consultant is recognised by your insurer. If you have chosen a guided option however, your insurer will direct you to the relevant consultant and hospital. If you remember to always pre-authorise your claim, you will ensure that you are working within your plan guidelines.
Quick access to a GP
Many Private Medical Insurance providers now offer an online and telephone GP services. Mobile app access to qualified, registered Private GP’s is also becoming more popular. Being able to access primary care in this way saves time in waiting to see your NHS GP.
Specialist drugs and treatment
Some specialist treatments and drugs are not available via the NHS due to cost or because they are not approved by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). A Private Medical Insurance can help with some treatments and drugs not available on the NHS.

If you need reassurance that you’ve been given the most accurate diagnosis, some Private Medical Insurance providers offer a second opinion service, providing policyholders with greater confidence.
