Private
Medical Insurance
|
| |
|

Below
is a rough guide to Private Medical Insurance (PMI) but
it is not an exhaustive definition.
|
| |
All
Private Medical Insurance (PMI) policies cover you for in-patient
care - this means hospital charges, consultants and specialists
fees, diagnostic tests and treatment for a hospital stay.
|
|
|
| |
|
You
can opt for additional cover by adding Out-patient care to your
policy which covers you for any treatment needed without a hospital
stay, such as Physiotherapy.
|
| |
|
If
you opt for both covers, you will ensure that any treatment you
need will be covered.
|
| |
|
Finding
the right private medical insurance is important and here are
some things you can take into consideration.
|
| |
|
Be
aware that many policies are reviewable. This means that if the
overall claims experience of a company over their bank of policyholders,
are greater than expected they can increase the premiums across
the board to all policyholders. This means that companies can
try to buy business with low premiums, only to increase them in
later years. Because of this hazard the cheapest reviewable quote
may not prove to be such good value as a guaranteed quote.
