Private Medical Insurance

What is private medical insurance?
A private health insurance or private medical (PMI) is an insurance policy that covers the cost of private medical care should you become unwell. It works alongside the NHS and often gives you access to shorter wait times, a choice of location and treatments only offered privately.

Challenge
The median waiting time for treatment through the NHS is 14.6 weeks. The average waiting time for GP appointments is 19 days.



Support
With growing pressures and long wait times at the NHS, you need to provide your employees with quick access to treatment to ensure diagnosis is treated and identified early and any treatment can be conducted in a short time frame. PMI is now seen as a key benefit for employees and more employees will ask or expect this benefit when joining a new employer



Perform
With a wide range of hospitals and specialists to treat your condition, you are able to be seen to and recuperate faster. Business health insurance also includes rehabilitation in a private room which can relieve the stress of treatment.
