Private medical insurance
Private medical insurance - sometimes called PMI, private healthcare or private health cover - gives you the reassurance of knowing that, should the need arise, you and your family will enjoy medical treatment privately, without waiting for the NHS to treat you.
While the NHS does a good job in very difficult circumstances, you still might not receive your treatment as quickly as you'd like - and waiting can be emotionally or physically difficult.
Private health insurance could be right for you if you want...
Private medical insurance works in the same way as any other insurance – it’s based on managing the risk of unforeseen events. You pay your premium, either in instalments or in one lump sum, so that if you fall ill you’ll be able to receive any eligible medical treatment privately – avoiding any potential NHS waiting lists. Think of it as peace of mind.

Member's story - This member had medical treatment for a damaged disc in her back.
Had a fantastic room looking over the Thames. Great service, the staff were wonderful, they couldn't do enough for me.
Everytime I got in touch with PPP about the next stage of things they were always extremely helpful, all the staff knew exactly what to do ... and I had nothing to worry about. It was an absolute easy experience.
Personally I would prefer to have all the tests I can to make sure everything is going to be alright, and use the facilities that I have got at my disposal.
I would say it's a very useful thing to have ... I've had lots of things done, which I couldn't have had done otherwise.
