Insurance Tailors arranges private medical insurance through a panel of leading providers for both individuals and families.
Private medical insurance (PMI) is designed to cover the costs of private medical treatment, for what are commonly known as "acute conditions" that start after your policy begins. Acute conditions are ones that typically respond to treatments quickly and the treatments aim to return you to a state of health you were in immediately before the illness or injury.
With numerous insurers and coverage options available, it can often be difficult to know which policy may suit you best. At Insurance Tailors we are independent brokers, who will take the time to understand you requirements and from this can provide quotes from across the insurance market at a budget that suits you.
In case of an emergency the NHS still remains the best place to access treatment and private medical insurance does not try to replicate this. Although waiting lists within the NHS have improved, it can still take up to 18 weeks between referral and treatment. There are currently over 67,000 people waiting on the NHS over 13 weeks for impatient treatment and over 74,000 people waiting over 8 weeks for their first outpatient treatment following a GP referral.*

Private medical insurance provides you with peace of mind if the worst happens, that you will be treated as quickly as possible, whilst allowing in most cases the choice of both consultant and hospital.
