In the UK we have a wonderful National Health Service but it is under extreme pressure, the estimated number of patients waiting for treatment in January 2022 is 6 million, and thus private treatment can be an option to avoid the queue.

FAQs

Yes, private medical insurance and private health care insurance essentially refer to the same thing.  Both terms are used to describe insurance policies that cover the cost of private healthcare.

Private health insurance is a policy that covers the cost of medical treatment in private healthcare facilities.

This depends on your personal circumstances and priorities. Some consider PMI as an investment in their health, as the turnaround time for treatment can be much faster than using the NHS. 

Many business owners, see it as an investment too. The stress of running a business can be considerable so why let NHS waiting times, loom over you and add to those daily pressures?
