Health Insurance and Private Medical Insurance gives you the option of immediate treatment and’going private’ means you do not wait for treatment under the National Health Service.
Even for the most serious of conditions you may have to wait six weeks before you get to see a specialist consultant through the NHS. With the current changes to GP run health districts and budget, this may increase through 2011.
More Comfort – Less Worry!
If you would like to be able to choose when and by whom you are treated, and are attracted by the idea of a hospital stay in a well-furnished private room with all the facilities – then PMI is a must. Pleasant surroundings help you recouperate faster! The cost of not covering yourself against health risks – could be a cost to your health itself!
Medical insurance covers you and if chosen, your family, for a year at a time but, provided you pay your premiums, most health insurance companies will automatically renew the policy each year.
If and when you need treatment, the policy pays out – provided your illness is covered.
The alternative to buying private medical insurance is to meet the costs for private treatment from your income or savings, although this can be very expensive if long term or specialist treatment is required. For example an MRI scan could cost you in excess of £1000 and a knee replacement £10000.
As you can see, medical treatment does not come cheap and you need to consider what you would do if you had to have a series of operations.
At UK Health Insurance we explain the pros and cons of going private, what you are covered for, what you are not covered for, and provide a range of quotes from different health insurance companies. We also provide current information and quotes for alternative health insurance policies and policies that cover you in the event of accidents and sickness including critical illness cover and mortgage and income protection insurance
If you are among a growing number of people who want the option of going private, but you do not have access to private medical insurance as a perk from your or your partner’s job, this sort of insurance can be worth considering. It is not cheap however, and there is no guarantee that the treatment you need will be covered. Therefore health insurance should be seen as complimentary to the National Health Service as opposed to competition.
