Do you need Private Medical Insurance (PMI)?
Why should I take out private medical insurance?
Most UK residents are entitled to free healthcare from the National Health Service (NHS). However, a large percentage of the UK don’t have any medical or life insurance in place. When it comes to insuring your home or car it's a no-brainer, so why do so many people not insure their health? Private medical insurance not only gives you peace of mind that you will be provided with the best care should you need it, but it ultimately safeguards the future of your loved ones.
