What private health insurance does

What's covered — and what isn't.

PMI sits alongside the NHS; it doesn't replace it. Here's roughly what a good policy does and doesn't do.

Typically included

  • Rapid specialist consultations and diagnostics
  • Private hospital treatment & surgery
  • MRI, CT and other scans with no waiting list
  • Cancer care, including modern drugs the NHS may not fund
  • Mental health cover (can usually be added or upgraded)
  • Outpatient physiotherapy & rehab
  • Optional dental and optical add-ons
  • Virtual GP access, 24/7 — with most insurers

Typically not covered

  • Pre-existing conditions (unless underwriting allows)
  • Routine pregnancy & maternity care
  • Chronic long-term conditions (management, not cure)
  • A&E and emergency care (NHS handles this)
  • Cosmetic procedures
  • Self-inflicted or substance-related conditions

Every insurer draws the lines slightly differently. We'll walk you through the detail for the policies that actually fit you.

Charles found us a policy that covered exactly what we needed — without paying for what we didn't. Straight-talking, no jargon, and we had our cover set up inside a week.

Common questions

The things people always ask.

If it's not covered here, just ask on the call — there are no stupid questions.

How much does private health insurance cost?
It really depends on age, postcode, hospital list, excess and add-ons — but most individual clients pay somewhere between £40 and £100 a month, and family policies from around £90. We'll give you real numbers, not a "from" price.
Will it cover pre-existing conditions?
Usually not straight away, but it depends on the underwriting type. Moratorium policies can cover pre-existing conditions after a condition-free period; full medical underwriting sets it out up front. We'll explain the trade-offs and find the route that fits.
Do I have to give up the NHS?
No — PMI sits alongside the NHS, not instead of it. You still use the NHS for A&E and anything chronic. PMI gives you speed: fast diagnostics and elective treatment without the wait.
Can I run it through my limited company?
Often yes — it's a benefit-in-kind, but frequently worth it on the numbers for directors. We'll set it up the right way and talk to your accountant if needed.
How long does it take to set up?
Usually under two weeks from first conversation to being covered. Simpler applications can be same-day. We handle the paperwork.
Do you charge a fee?
No fees for the advice on personal PMI. We're paid by the insurer after the policy starts — and we're whole-of-market, so there's no incentive to push one over another.
What happens at renewal?
We re-shop the market every year on your behalf. If there's a better deal, we'll tell you. If the existing policy still wins, we'll say that too.
