How does private health
insurance work?

Private health insurance provides cover for private medical care. It can often remove long waiting times for those needing treatment, providing peace of mind without putting your life on hold.

Typically you will pay a monthly or yearly premium with your chosen insurer and this fee will be based on a variety of different information about you such as age, location, how comprehensive your chosen plan is, your lifestyle and your medical history. Generally speaking, the more cover you add to your policy, the more expensive it will become.

Why choose a health insurance policy for your child?

Having a policy in place for your child can offer some benefits when compared to the NHS, such as:

  • Reduced waiting times as NHS waiting lists can take a long time to progress
  • Specialist treatment options that may not be directly available through public-funded healthcare
  • Treatment at your choice of local hospital or preferable location
  • Subject to your policy, access to the latest drugs which may not be available on the NHS
  • Private hospitals with private accommodation, often including accommodation for parents when staying with children undergoing treatment
