Wednesday, 03 June 2009 02:37

Standard Life has launched a new personal healthcare insurance plan.

Individuals can now build a plan tailored to their needs built around a core module which provides full cover for in-patient and day patient treatment, hospital charges, consultants' fees diagnostic and monitoring tests.

The health insurance prolicy also covers in and out-patient cover for cancer as well as major outpatient scans.

Plans can be enhanced with additional cover options including three levels of out-patient treatment, maternity cover, travel insurance, dental cover, psychiatric treatment, health screening and additional therapies.

Ronjit Bose, head of healthcare product, Standard Life said: "At Standard Life we believe that it is important to give our customers the flexibility to pick and choose the cover that suits their needs. After all, no-one knows you better than you, so why should your insurer decide what your healthcare plan should look like?

"In the current economic climate it is essential for individuals to have control over the level of premiums they pay. We believe personal healthcare will appeal not only to those considering the important benefits of health insurance for the first time but also those who have recently left company schemes and want to continue with the peace of mind that private medical insurance offers, as well as those looking to switch from their current insurer."

All options are backed by a "full cover promise" from Standard Life, without fee limits.
