Private Medical Insurance- Finding The Right Policy for You

Private Medical Insurance- Finding The Right Policy for You

Why Private Medical Insurance Is Becoming So Popular

Recent research indicates that the vast majority of consumers take out private medical insurance because they are concerned about the length of waiting lists for treatment in NHS hospitals.

68% of those questioned in a recent online poll, said that they wanted to receive treatment when it was needed rather than having to take their chances with the NHS waiting lists. In other words the failure of the NHS to deliver is directly responsible for the growing popularity of private medical insurance in the UK.

Benefits of Private Medical Insurance Over The NHS

Whereas the shortest waiting period for general surgery on the NHS is 32 weeks, those covered by private medical insurance are able to receive treatment as and when they need it, in a hospital of their choice.

In other words, if you chose to use the NHS for your medical treatment, you are likely to have to wait months before actually receiving the treatment you need.
