Health Insurance Information and News Site

 

We want medical and health Insurance increasingly in the UK: over 7 million of us now have a private medical insurance policy and rely on this when we fall ill. We don't want to wait for the NHS, we want to be treated in a private hospital at a time and day to suit us and our lifestyles.

 

Private health insurance is, therefore, a key issue for the population. But with that comes a multitude of questions:

    Where should I go to get medical insurance?

    How much should I be paying? How can I reduce my premiums?

    Which private hospitals are covered?

    What about London hospitals?

    What if I have been ill before?

    What do the different insurance words mean?

    Can I add my family?

    Is it better for my wife and I to have separate policies?

    What if we are a same sex couple, can we get joint medical insurance?

    What is the latest news on the superbugs?

 

Health Insurance Information and News will cover all of these medical insurance questions - and more - and because we are not associated with any health insurers, we will discuss everything: the postive and the negative of each insurance policy with each insurer: from BUPA to PruHealth, Axa to Norwich Union, from fully comprehensive, to inpatient only, to cash plan policies where you can get treated on the NHS and keep the money, to treatment abroad policies. This information site will also cover the latest with the NHS waiting lists and concerns such as superbugs, some of the reasons for more people moving to private insurance policies.
