With NHS waiting times forever increasing – and even GP appointments getting harder to arrange – Private Medical Insurance – tailored to your and your family’s profile and needs – makes an awful lot of sense. This type of cover is very flexible: you can add optical and dental cover. The new pathways mean that you can get straight to a specialist, generally getting to at least a video call within 48 hours.
Many brokers will claim to offer ‘whole of market,’ but that may just mean that they offer every kind of product, but that they are all from the same insurer. Independent means that we can offer every kind of product from every insurer.

Core coverage varies between providers but generally focuses on inpatient and day-patient treatments. Inpatient and Day-Patient Care covers hospital accommodation, nursing care, operating theatres, surgeons, and anaesthetist fees when you are admitted to a hospital bed. Diagnostic Tests covers the costs of specialist scans like MRIs, CT scans, PET scans, and X-rays. Cancer Treatment: many insurers provide comprehensive cancer care, often funding advanced drug therapies and treatments not always readily available on the NHS. Most policies cover organ transplants. Optional Add-ons: depending on your budget, you can pay extra to include outpatient consultations, mental health therapy, private physiotherapy, or routine dental and optical care.
PMI is designed for acute illnesses, meaning it excludes: chronic conditions, i.e. long-term illnesses requiring continuous management (e.g., asthma, diabetes), emergency care, e.g. Accident and Emergency (A&E) admissions and elective/routine care, such as cosmetic surgery, fertility treatment, and normal pregnancy/childbirth costs.
No, standard policies do not cover pre-existing conditions you suffered from before buying the policy. How these are filtered out depends on the style of underwriting you select.
