Health Insurance

Private Medical Insurance (PMI), or Private Health Insurance, is a product which allows individuals to access treatment for illness, injury or other related conditions without having to rely on the NHS, which has come under increasing pressure in recent times as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. A comprehensive health insurance policy will ensure that you and your family get the medical care and attention you require promptly with access to leading physicians and medical specialists. It will also allow you the freedom to choose private treatment for many surgeries as well as access to drugs and medication which may not normally be immediately available through the NHS.

Benefits of Private Medical

  • Timely access to healthcare
  • Prompt referral to a consultant
  • Quick admission to a hospital
  • Treatment at a convenient time
  • Choice of healthcare
  • Direct care by a consultant
  • Advanced treatment options
  • High-quality private clinic and hospital accommodation
  • Privacy of an en-suite room
  • Home amenities such as TV
  • Comfort and cleanliness
  • Access to a GP via apps
  • Other additional group benefits like discounted memberships or rewards

Individual private medical insurance

Individual private medical insurance, or private health insurance, is purchased by an individual for themselves, with the ability to add a partner, spouse and / or other family members. Through our Quote Comparison facility you can tailor your quote and policy to specifically meet your own cover requirements and budget.

Company or Group Private Medical Insurance

Group Private Medical Insurance (PMI) or Business Health Insurance is designed for schemes that have two or more members.  By having a group or company medical insurance policy, you will be ensuring that you and your employees will be able to get the medical care you need, should the worse happen.

Benefits to a company of having group health insurance include:

  • Access to GPs and medical practitioners outside of usual business hours
  • Reduced absenteeism as staff aren’t subject to NHS waiting times
  • A comprehensive company healthcare can improve staff wellbeing and mental health
  • Private health insurance can be offered as part of an individual’s overall remuneration package to help attract the best talent in your industry

International Private Medical Insurance

Standard UK-only health products are unlikely to be sufficient if you spend a lot of time abroad. However, Alastair James Insurance Brokers can arrange private medical insurance policies for individuals who spend a significant amount of time away from the UK.  We can also provide cover regardless of your nationality or country of residence.

Whilst this cover has traditionally been classed as expensive, you are able to take advantage of our knowledge in this area to help reduce and budget for these costs. This can be done by ensuring that all our markets are approached for quotes, as well as tailoring the product to your needs thereby avoiding paying for unnecessary cover.

Other health related insurance

In addition to the health insurance, we are also able to provide tailored insurance quotations for the following related insurance products:

  • Life insurance
  • Critical illness insurance
  • Income Protection Insurance
  • Key man insurance
