Health for You from AXA Health

Are you looking for Personal Health Insurance? Let us tell you about the simple and low-cost Private Medical Insurance plan Health For You,  from AXA Health.

Health For You is ideal if you are looking to keep your monthly premiums for Private Medical Insurance low. The Health For You plan is able to offer low premiums by offering a reduced hospital list. The hospitals available under this plan have been carefully selected. They will still offer you access to quality care and services nationwide at over 140 hospitals.

Health Insurance benefits within the Health For You Core cover:

  • In-patient and day-patient treatment
  • Out-patient surgery
  • NHS Cash Benefit (£50 per night, up to £2,000 per year)
  • Ambulance transport
  • Unlimited video or telephone consultations with AXA Doctor at Hand (online private GP service)
  • Comprehensive Cancer Cover (Eligibility for this benefit is subject to Medical History)

If you are unable to satisfy the eligibility criteria for the Comprehensive Cancer Cover benefit,  the Health For You plan can still provide some level of support in relation to Cancer via their NHS Cancer Support option. Although this option doesn’t pay for the treatment of cancer, it will importantly pay for licensed cancer drugs and the cost of the drug to be given when the NHS are unable to fund them.
