Here in the UK, we’re lucky enough to benefit from having the NHS, but with backlogs and delays many people choose to insure themselves with Private Medical Insurance which provides a number of excellent benefits.
-
Less Waiting!
Increased demand and lack of public funding means that routine and non-emergency treatments and operations can have very long waiting lists. With Private Medical Insurance cover, you can most likely bypass waiting lists and receive the treatments you need quickly.
2. Recover in a Private Room
With the right policy, you’ll be able to choose to receive your treatment in a private hospital or medical facility. This means – you may benefit from staying and recovering in a private room.
3. Gain Access to Specialist Drugs & Treatments
Some drugs and treatments aren’t available on the NHS because they are deemed too expensive or are yet to be approved by NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence in England and Wales). With private medical cover you can access specific medicines and treatments that aren’t available on the NHS.
Speak to our expert team if you’re looking to access a specific treatment or drug – we can help find the perfect policy for your health needs.
4. Specific Scans & Medical Tests
Non-emergency scans and tests sometimes have waiting lists on the NHS. With the right PMI cover you can bypass waiting lists and your specialist will be able to book you in for specific scans and medical tests – should you ever need them.

An obvious benefit of health insurance but one that usually gets forgotten about: the ability to choose. With the right PMI cover you can often choose from an array of options, including: which hospital you are treated in, when your treatment takes place and you can sometimes ask for referrals to specific specialists.
