Private Medical Insurance

Roles and practices funding private medical insurance. What different cover levels mean, and what to ask.

Knowledge

Private medical insurance, in plain terms.

Private medical insurance through an employer buys faster access to diagnosis, consultations and treatment outside NHS waiting lists. For anyone who has waited months for a referral, the value is obvious.

The detail decides the worth: outpatient limits, excesses, mental health cover and whether partners and children are included all change the package. Cover used to stop at senior level, but whole-team schemes are increasingly common as practices compete for staff.

This hub gathers the roles and practices advertising private medical insurance as part of their offer.
