Which type of medical insurance is right for you?

High or low excess?

Increasing your excess means your premiums will be lower, but you will have to contribute more each time you need treatment.

We can help you find the right balance for you.

'Six-week' option

Some providers only allow you to claim if the NHS can’t treat you within six-weeks, meaning you can get the benefit of private cover only when the NHS is too busy, which keeps your costs down.

Basic cover only

Basic policies cover the essential treatment you would expect, but additional consultations or diagnostic tests may not be included. These can be cost-effective if you don’t want to compromise on vital cover.
