Private medical insurance has long been thought of as a luxury item and many people seem to think that it is quite expensive, but cash plan private health insurance policies offer one way to save significant amounts of money. According to a survey by CS Healthcare, the average price that people think a monthly health insurance premium costs is £44.80 per month when in actual fact, Freedom offers policies starting from as little as £10.88 each month – under a quarter of that.


The survey also found that over a third of people in the UK are worried about their health on a daily basis, and up to 600,000 adults across the country are so concerned that they cannot sleep at night. Private medical insurance could help put people’s minds at rest by giving them reassurance that top quality healthcare is available quickly and in a convenient time and place should they ever need it. This figure becomes quite worrying however when people begin to start thinking about stopping their private medical cover in order to save money during this difficult financial period. This will only make people worry even more, putting their health at risk even further from stress and anxiety.


Cost of treatment, waiting times and hospital cleanliness were among the top reasons given by people for their concerns, all of which can be avoided with a private medical insurance policy. Freedom will give you a cash lump sum to pay towards the cost of your treatment and if you wish to be treated in a private hospital you could be treated in a very short space of time and avoid the NHS conditions which have been known for high cases of MRSA and other superbugs in the past.
