We are thrilled to be the Which? Recommended Provider for Private Medical Insurance two years running.

What is health insurance?

Health insurance is designed to cover some or all of the costs of private healthcare, from consultations with diagnostic scans and tests through to treatment. Having a health insurance policy gives you peace of mind that you or a family member will have access to the very best treatment at a time and place that is convenient to you. Health insurance, or private medical insurance (PMI) as it is sometimes known, may be provided by a company to their employees or it can be purchased on an individual or family basis.

How much is private health insurance?

The cost of private health insurance is typically influenced by various factors such as the ages of covered members, where you live, whether you smoke or vape, and the selected cover benefits. Further details and guidance for selecting the right private health insurance policy can be found in our comprehensive Understanding Health Insurance guide.

The cover you choose will depend on your personal needs and circumstances. Whilst many health insurance products on the market are similar in their benefit offering, what sets WPA aside from the rest is our dedication in putting customers at the centre of all that we do.
