What is health insurance for the over 50s?

Health Insurance when you’re over 50 can provide you with peace of mind that you will be seen quickly in that time of need.

As we get older, things are more likely to go wrong, so having health insurance can help put your mind at ease. Sometimes not knowing what is wrong can put a strain on you and your family’s life, so having access to that all-important quicker diagnosis for new symptoms, leading to your care in a comfortable private hospital can make such a difference in getting you back on track as quickly as possible, we know that retired life is so busy.

Menopause help

Even though treatment for menopause symptoms is not generally covered by health insurance, insurers have recognised that menopause can have a huge impact on a person’s life psychologically and physically and when going through menopause, you may struggle to know who to turn to for advice and support.

Some insurers have introduced channels that can offer help and support when approaching or going through menopause.

The support could be as simple as help with how to have a discussion with your NHS GP about your symptoms, all the way through to one-to-one virtual consultations or CBT sessions. Some insurers have teamed up with third-party companies to help you to understand menopause, manage symptoms, improve general health, and learn about HRT types or non-HRT treatment options.
