My workplace health insurance scheme is coming to an end – what should I do?

Are you leaving an employee or workplace health insurance scheme? If so – we can help find you the best quotes for personal health insurance cover. Most people think that personal health insurance is too expensive – but we can help find you cover which was similar to what you paid as part of your workplace scheme.

If you want to stay with your current provider we can also compare your current policy with a new policy – to try and find you the same cover, for an affordable price. We can compare your current cover with the whole of the UK market – to find you not only the best cover, but to help you make the most of any perks, deals or offers currently available.

Can I stay with my current provider?

The short answer – is yes! If you want to stay with your current provider, our team can compare your current cover to all the other options available with the provider of your choice. We can then help you decide whether to keep paying for your current cover or if there’s a better option which could reduce your monthly premiums.

Most providers require 3 months’ notice if you want to continue on the same plan you are on with you employee.

Should I continue my company health insurance scheme cover?

This is of course a personal choice – but we believe private health insurance has many benefits. The main benefit is the peace of mind that you’re covered in case anything was to happen. In the UK we’re lucky to have the NHS, but in recent years budget cuts have led to longer waiting times and in some cases, limited treatment options.

With private health insurance cover you’ll have access to:

Flexibility

With private insurance cover – you’ll have more flexibility. You’ll have more choice when it comes to who you receive your treatment with, when you receive treatment and where the treatment takes place.

Also – because you will not be on a waiting list, you can fit the treatments you need into your own life’s schedule.

Rewards & Special Offers

Many health insurance providers also offer their policy holders exclusive offers and rewards. If this is important to you – we can help find a cover plan which includes these types of rewards or offers.

 

 

Quick Access to a GP

Many private health insurance plans include access to private GPs – whether this is in person or via a mobile device. For example, with Vitality Health Insurance you’ll have access to the ‘Vitality GP App’. This is a 24/7 GP helpline which guarantees you access to a video GP consultation within 48 hours.

Shorter Waiting Times

If you have private healthcare cover, you will not be subject to long waiting times. You’ll be able to seek treatment when you require it.
