Avoid NHS waiting lists

The UK's National Health Service (NHS) is known worldwide, but it’s under pressure to meet people’s healthcare demands. With private health insurance plans you can avoid the waiting lists and have your treatment in private hospitals. And whichever one you choose, you’ll find comfortable facilities and you’ll usually have your own private room with an en-suite bathroom.

Getting treatment

If you need treatment in the UK, we’re here to help - all you need to do is contact us. Because we’re a global business firmly established in the UK, we have developed an extensive network of hospitals and clinics all around the country. That means we can put you in touch with a provider we trust and make sure you have access to the treatment you need, when and where you want it. Whether that’s close to family or near work, you have the flexibility to manage your health around your timetable.

You choose where you want to go

With our expat health insurance you just choose where you want cover – worldwide or worldwide except the USA. Then you’ll be covered in any country you want to have treatment in. So, if you’d prefer to go back home to see your family dentist, or you want to visit a specialist in another country we can cover the cost of your treatment. Or if you’re traveling for work or spend some of the year in another country, you’ll still be covered.
