What is medical insurance?
Private medical insurance, or PMI as it is sometimes referred to, may provide security whether you're looking for individual health insurance for you or private health cover for the whole family.
Because you can't always escape illness and injury, you could get help when you need it most with private health cover.
Key Facts
Here are some of the different types of private medical insurance you may find:
- General PMI cover may pay for appointments with a specialist, may fund tests and may enable you to elect to have treatment at a private hospital or clinic. General PMI can be an individual health insurance plan, may extend to your family or may cover a group – normally a group of employees within a company.
- Personal accident cover may protect you against financial difficulties in the event of a serious accident or injury. It can be taken out as individual health insurance or as a policy protecting your whole family.
- A hospital cash plan is a form of private health cover that may assist with the costs associated with being in hospital, such as travel costs for family members and childcare facilities.
- A plan that offers individual health insurance for women may provide assistance when a woman is diagnosed with a female-specific cancer.
