Private medical insurance

Private medical insurance provides cover for private health treatment for disease, illness or injury. There is a large choice of private health insurance products available from a range of insurers and so finding affordable health insurance can be difficult.

If you take out a private medical insurance plan when you are young the cost is fairly low but this rises as you get older. Other factors can influence whether you will be accepted for private medical insurance and how much the premiums will cost. These factors can include whether you are a smoker, your weight and age.
