Private Medical Insurance

This is an insurance policy set up to cover some or all of the costs associated with private medical treatment. It can provide you with quick and easy access to eligible health treatment, from seeing a Consultant for diagnosis, to having a comfortable stay in hospital whilst you are being treated. In most cases you select who you want to see, at a selected hospital and at a time to suit you.

Private Medical Insurance (PMI) is primarily aimed at acute conditions where speedy treatment can be provided privately, exclusions of cover are likely to arise if prevailing Chronic conditions are evident. There are a variety of plans available, depending upon affordability, ranging from budget plans to fully comprehensive policies with and without exclusions and excesses.

Most PMI policies are restricted to UK residents and do not provide medical cover when you are abroad.
