Private medical insurance
Private health insurance - the support you need, when you need it
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 receive eligible medical treatment privately, without waiting for the NHS to treat you.
For anyone who'd rather not wait for medical treatment
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.
Our Private health insurance offers you:
- Prompt treatment
Private health insurance gives you and your family prompt access to the treatment covered by your plan. - A wide choice of hospitals and specialists
Our health insurance cover offers a choice of when you are treated and the hospital you are treated in, with access to over 24,000 specialists / consultants. - Comfortable, private facilities
If you need to be admitted into hospital for treatment, private health insurance typically means you'll benefit from excellent facilities - for example, most of our network of over 250 quality assessed hospitals offer private en-suite rooms with TV, telephone and radio.
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 - David Penney was diagnosed with cancer just over 4 years ago.
For me, the benefits of having private medical insurance during this time was the fact that everything was done so quickly.
When you are not feeling well and you are uncertain about what the treatment is likely to be or what the likely outcome is, you do really need to talk to someone, and quickly.
For me that was priceless."
"It was a bit like checking into a hotel." - Lesley
