Private Medical Insurance
Why choose Private Medical Insurance?
Recent research shows that more and more people are getting healthier and living longer, the retirement age is rising and people are working for much longer than in previous years. Inevitably as we get older medical conditions such as arthritis, heart problems, knee and hip replacements and hernias can become more common.
Whilst for older people the NHS may waive charges, the long and worrying waiting lists are not getting any shorter with 276,829 people waiting for more than 4 weeks to see a specialist, following a GP referral*.
By choosing private medical insurance not only can you jump the queue, you’ll receive a better standard of care and treatment than you would on the NHS.
· Jump NHS queues with speedy access to private treatment
· Freedom to choose your own Consultant
· Choose your own hospital or clinic where you would like to be treated
· Unrestricted visiting times for family members and those close to you
· Your own private en suite room with TV and internet facilities
· Have the same Consultant look after you from the start of your treatment
· Some policies even come with discounts on gym membership and more
As you get older, arranging health insurance can get a little more complex as the number of insurers offering private medical insurance for the over 50's begins to decrease.
