Private Medical Insurance or Health Insurance in the UK can seem like a minefield, as many types of insurance often do. Insurers offer many different styles of policies, with many allowing the customer to ‘tailor make’ the policy and fine tube the level of cover to suit their budget. In this article, we aim to break down the options to help you make the right choice.
Here we will out line all the information you need to know about a Full Medical Insurance Policy. Your other options are the Diagnosis Policy or the Treatment & Care Policy. Click the links to find out more to help you make your decision.
Whether a full Private Medical Insurance policy will be covering an individual or employees of a company, it can be as basic or as comprehensive as the policyholder chooses depending on their needs and of course budget.
All policies will cover any in or day patient treatment in full irrespective of the level of cover the customer chooses. Full Cancer Cover is often included in full aswell as major diagnostic tests such as MRI or CT scans or invasive camera’s which tend to be carried out as a day case. All of this is often referred to as the ‘Core Cover’ of a policy.
Policyholders have options to upgrade their cover which will increase the premium as well as selecting cost containment options which will bring premiums down. Let us now look at some of these options and what they include:
As mentioned above, all policies will now include some ‘extra’ benefits as standard irrelevant of the level of cover, such as Wellbeing apps which can give advice on diet and lifestyle and Digital GP apps which will allow customers to have a video call with a GP usually within 24 hours.
If a company is considering offering Private Medical Insurance to its employees then a full policy is the most common option. This will give the employer the security that if employees become unwell they should have a speedy return to work, and will also take away any stress and worry from the employee over waiting times.
This style of policy would be suited to people who do not want any risk of using the NHS at all. This policy will usually be the best option for companies covering their staff.
