What is health insurance?
Health insurance, often called private medical insurance, is an insurance policy that covers the costs of
private healthcare, from diagnosis to treatment.
You will pay a monthly subscription that covers all or some of the cost of treatment for acute conditions that develop after your health insurance policy has begun. You may take out health insurance as it gives you quick access to medical treatment.
Benefits
The main benefits of private medical insurance are that you’ll get access to private healthcare and usually get treatment faster than on the NHS. Many providers offer access to GP appointments through Digital GP apps, giving you fast access to medical support, as well as a faster referral to any further private treatment. Some also offer direct access to physiotherapists or mental health specialists without the need to wait for a GP referral, which also gets you the treatment and support you need, quicker.
