    What is health insurance ?

    Also known as private medical insurance (PMI), health insurance is designed to cover some or all of the costs of private healthcare. From consultations with diagnostic scans and tests through to treatment and dental procedures, having health insurance in place means giving you and your family the peace of mind you deserve. It means that if you come face to face with unexpected and unforeseen health problems, you’ll have access to the very best treatment at both a time and place that is most convenient to you. Please note that pre-existing and long-term conditions may not be covered. 

    How do cash plans differ from health insurance?

    Unlike health insurance, cash plans contribute towards everyday healthcare costs which means you don’t need to be ill to benefit. These low cost, simple plans let you claim money back on essential, foreseeable healthcare including dental, optical treatment, and therapy.  

    The same rules apply to dental plans – they offer protection for both routine and preventative dental care. With dental bills becoming ever more expensive for NHS and private, dental plans can be an effective way to access treatment.
