There are many benefits a Private Health Insurance Policy can give you; a few being shorter waiting times and quicker diagnosis periods. With conditions like hypertension, stroke risk, polycystic ovarian, cardiovascular and thyroid diseases being on the rise and threatening women’s health - there has never been a better time to get covered by private health insurance. Research shows that nearly half (48%) of working women in the UK do not have a form of health insurance and only 10% of women receive it through their workplace.
In today’s society, especially in urban areas, the number of self-dependant women is on the rise and with traditional stereotypes being dismantled, many women are equal breadwinners in their families. Women’s incomes are now becoming increasing important for a family’s financial security, with contributions to mortgage and bills, there seems to be greater reason for women to take more precautions.
Health Insurance is an important investment in a women’s life - but many tend to overlook it. Even though statistics show that women are more likely to use health services than men, they still have a tendency to neglect the idea of Health Insurance whilst being too busy looking after everyone else. We understand Health Insurance can be confusing when looking at what each policy covers, but the majority of policies do cover:
- Women specific illnesses – breast cancer, uterine cancer, fallopian tube cancer, cervical cancer, vaginal cancer and ovarian cancer.
- Maternity Expenses.
- Personal Accident Cover.
- Support of livelihood benefits in case of death + permanent disability.
Whilst some companies offer health insurance to their employees, women who reduce hours due to family commitments or to raise their children may be at risk of losing their Health Insurance benefits. They may also loose it through divorce, widowhood or when a spouse retires or loses their job; it is therefore important for women to make sure they have their own Health Insurance policy.
