Private Medical Insurance

Private medical policies can help you financially with the cost of private healthcare

LET’S TALK

What is Private Medical Insurance?

Private Medical Insurance (or PMI for short) is an insurance policy that can help with the costs of private healthcare, including diagnosis and medical treatment.

By paying a monthly premium, if you develop an acute health condition that begins after your policy has started, private medical insurance could cover some, or even all, of the costs associated with it’s treatment.

Private Medical Insurance could mean you can get access to medical services or treatment quicker, with the level of cover you could receive being dependent on your selected policy options.

Also, due to there being more competition in the market, the cost of Private Medical Insuance is likely less than
you’re expecting, making it more affordable and accessible than ever before.

What are the Key Features of Private Medical Insurance?

When it comes to Private Medical Insurance, unlike the majority of other protection insurances we advise on, we do not undertake ‘whole of market’ research. Instead, we use a select panel of Insurers that we consider offer good value cover, whether you are a business or a private individual.

To give an idea of the kind of benefits you can access with Private Medical Insurance (PMI), we’ve used Aviva’s policy as an example.
