Why private medical insurance?

It can be difficult to look after your health and wellbeing when leading a busy life. Making sure you are properly protected should you become unwell or have an accident, helps to give you peace of mind, the security that you need, and can help you get back on your feet quicker.

Private Medical Insurance (PMI) covers the cost of eligible medical treatment in a private facility or ward. 

• Quality cover
  The policies can provide a range of benefits, enabling you to access treatment quicker and often with more choice compared to traditional treatment paths, when using the NHS.
• Choice
  One of the key benefits of private healthcare is the choice that it can provide around where and when you receive the care that you need.
• Waiting times
  The NHS’ target for treating a non-emergency procedure, such as a knee or hip operation, is 18 weeks¹. How would you or your family cope, if you had to wait this long for a procedure, as well as factoring in recovery and rehabilitation time?

How you can benefit

A typical policy will provide you with fast access to a private consultant, diagnostic tests and if required in/day patient treatment. Some policies will even cover you for private GP appointments and will book your consultation with a specialist for you.

When you have an illness, are in discomfort or even unable to work, your main priority is to be treated as soon as you can and receive the best treatment possible. Here at Marsh Commercial, we work closely with our clients to put the right policy in place so you have peace of mind that if the worst were to happen, you can just concentrate on getting better.
