In addition, we can help you select the right private medical insurance plan that delivers the correct amount of cover for you and your family.
We can access the whole PMI market and help arrange personal and corporate PMI plans that are affordable and effective.
Private health insurance cover is a form of insurance cover that will cover the cost of private medical treatment. You pay a monthly premium which entitles you to treatment for what insurers describe as 'acute conditions.'
The purpose of PMI is to return the patient (whether that's you, a member of your family, or an employee) to health. Once diagnosed, PMI will cover treatment, including inpatient treatment and outpatient treatment for a wide range of conditions affecting your physical and mental health.
Health insurance doesn't cover day-to-day illnesses such as coughs, colds, or other minor ailments. It also won't provide emergency healthcare treatment (you should ring 999) or dental cover (which can be provided by a dental insurance plan).
There are also some exceptions as to what is and isn't covered by any health insurance policy, including pre-existing medical conditions and chronic conditions you may be living with.
Each private health insurance policy is different,
You'll need to arrange private health insurance cover through a specialist broker such as London FS. We can help you find comprehensive cover at the best price. You'll pay a monthly health insurance premium for cover. After a qualifying period, you'll be able to claim if you (or anyone covered by the policy) require treatment.
In most cases, the treatment process begins with a visit to your GP. They will provide a referral for specialist treatment. The GP can be either an NHS doctor or a private GP.
Once you've received a professional referral, health insurance providers will ensure you access the medical treatment you require to make a full recovery.
Each private health insurance provider has several exceptions, including things you won't be covered for. Each private health insurance policy is different, and each provider has its own range of exceptions and exclusions. However, we can list some of the most common reasons your health insurance provider may not cover you.
Even if you hold private health insurance, you can still access NHS treatment, including dental treatment and comprehensive cancer care that the national health service is famous for.
There are several types of health insurance available to protect you, your family, and the employees of your business. As London FS, we can help you choose the most suitable type and level of private health insurance cover.
Personal health insurance provides private health cover for one person. Providers will ask a series of questions about your medical history before deciding on your premiums. Individual health insurance only covers one person, not anyone else in your family.
Joint health insurance is a medical insurance policy for two people, in most cases a couple. Your partner could be a husband or wife, civil partner, or long-term partner. Joint health insurance covers both of you and will provide comprehensive cover for the duration of the plan.
Family private health insurance covers you and any named family members on the policy. Anyone named on the policy will be able to access private healthcare treatment. Health insurance premiums will be based on the number of people included in the policy, their full medical history, and their family. In most cases, medical tests are unnecessary.
Corporate or business private health insurance is offered to staff who work for a business. In today's competitive world, it's a precious staff benefit. In addition, a health insurance plan can be desirable to new employees, particularly if it also includes their families. Health insurance costs for corporate health insurance will depend on the number of employees you have and the level of cover you require.

Health insurers will decide your premium based on a range of factors, including your age, current health and an assessment of your full medical history, including physical and mental health. They'll discuss any pre-existing conditions you may have too.
They will calculate an annual premium, which is paid in monthly instalments. Like car insurance, there are different levels of cover and care to choose from. Comprehensive health insurance is the most expensive, with more limited policies available.
We can help identify the most suitable private healthcare insurance package for you, matching your requirements with your budget.
If you become sick, your private health insurance provider will pay for private treatment. This is outside of the NHS, which often means you'll be seen much more quickly. You may also receive treatment at a private hospital as an inpatient or outpatient.
Depending on the diagnosis and the cause of your health problem, you'll be supported to recover. This can include cancer treatment and mental health treatment. Exactly what is covered by your PMI policy will be included in your policy documents.
Like your car insurance, you will need to submit a claim and provide evidence to support it.
Even if you access private health care, you'll still be entitled to free healthcare from the NHS as normal.
Your PMI policy will start at an agreed date and begin to pay monthly; however, you may not be able to claim for a set period.
PMI is an insurance policy regulated by the financial conduct authority. You will receive clear and simple insurance policy documents with details of what is and isn't covered in your health insurance policy. If you have any questions about your policy, we can help provide advice and guidance.
You can choose whether there is an excess or not. Obviously, policies with no excess are significantly more expensive.
In most cases, private health insurance providers won't cover you for pre-existing conditions. However, each policy will have its own list of exclusions which we can discuss with you.
At London FS, we make finding the right private medical insurance simple. We can provide impartial and expert guidance, helping you to compare policies to ensure you get the right package with the best coverage for you, your family and your business.
