We're not a health insurance provider. We complement the NHS by offering access to private healthcare.
To keep costs low, we don't replicate some of the major services provided by the NHS. For example, joint replacements, and brain, heart and cancer treatment.
We offer immediate access to 24/7 medical and support helplines. Plus after six months you get access to diagnosis and after 24 months^ access to surgical treatment at hospitals nationwide when there's a wait above our current NHS wait time threshold.
To keep our healthcare costs low, our services are provided to you on a discretionary basis and are subject to the resources we have available. This means:
We'll ask for a referral from a qualified NHS practitioner for any request for treatment or diagnosis.
We'll ask you to stay on the NHS unless your wait time meets our threshold.
Access to over 200 procedures. These procedures are considered less complex and are typically considered as elective, which means it is planned in advance and is not considered an emergency.
There are some limits and exclusions to membership. Examples of medical treatment not on our approved procedures list are joint replacements, and brain, heart and cancer treatment. Please review these to make sure we're the right fit for you and your family.
We also want to reassure you that our discretionary approach has served our members well for more than 115 years.
