Affordable Private Medical Insurance

NHS Hospitals are carrying out fewer operations with over 7 million people now waiting for hospital treatment in England

For patients, the prospect of long delays can be a cause of significant concern

'Really frustrating'

Waiting lists have grown as hospitals struggle to get back to full strength after the Covid pandemic

Surgeons say it's not unusual to have operations cancelled at the last minute

All of this means that relying on the NHS to deliver fast healthcare may no longer be a wise move.

The good news is that there is an alternative called Private Medical Insurance.

With Private Medical Insurance, it's possible to get hospital treatment without enduring long NHS waiting lists. Many people view it as a sensible solution to protect their health.

Private Medical Insurance can help to cover the cost of your or your families private medical expenses.

The way this type of insurance works is simple - you pay a monthly fee which helps to fund your future medical costs.

With different companies competing against each other, most plans are quite comprehensive and often include cover for:

• Short-term illness
• Acute illness
• Disease
• Injuries
• Day-care surgery
• In-patient surgery and tests

A Private Medical Insurance policy should allow you to claim for common illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, pain issues, digestive conditions, and eye/ear problems.

That said, it may also be possible to personalise a plan to ensure you get affordable cover for your circumstances and budget.

One of the best ways to do this is by contacting a private medical insurance broker and requesting a free quote.
