How does private health
insurance work?

Private health insurance provides cover for private medical care, at least in part from your chosen insurer. 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 subscription 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.

How to lower the cost of your health insurance

In order to get cheaper health insurance premiums, there are a number of adjustments that can be made to your policy. The most simple way to have the most affordable health insurance plan is to opt for a basic level of cover. Typically this would just cover you for inpatient care and won’t necessarily cover you for anything required in the lead up to your inpatient visit such as diagnostic tests and appointments with a consultant.

Other variables that can lead to cheaper health insurance premiums include:

  • An increase in your excess payments should you require a claim against your policy
  • Opt for a reduced hospital list, lowering the number of hospital locations you can visit as part of your policy
  • Reduce the amount of outpatient cover on your policy
  • Opt for a ‘Six-week option’, meaning that you will use the NHS if it can deliver the required inpatient treatment within six weeks of your referral
