As the UK's population ages, the pressure on the National Health Service will continue to grow and the cost of new technology and drugs will spiral to unsustainable levels.

Rather than waiting for treatment through the NHS, people are looking for more choice and wanting confidence in the healthcare treatment they receive. Consequently, Private Medical Insurance is becoming even more popular to companies and individuals alike.

Private Medical Insurance (PMI) is designed to cover the costs of private treatment for acute medical conditions, which may develop after you become insured (in most cases pre existing medical conditions are not covered). It will provide you and your family with peace of mind, knowing that you will receive prompt treatment rather than having to wait for considerable lengths of time. Private hospitals and facilities also offer hotel like amenities with high standards in cleanliness, minimising the risks of MRSA and similar infections.

You can choose from a variety of plans to suit your personal requirements and budget. Usually included in the cover are benefits relating to: -

• In patient treatment
• Daycare treatment
• Out-patient care
• Consultantion with Specialist in Consultant
• Diagnosis of tests, inclusing X rays and scans
• Cancer care
• Many other additional options are available

It is very easy to apply for Private Medical Insurance, as only an application form is required, and no medical examination will be requested.
