Family Health Insurance: flexibility is the way forward

Private health insurance providers should be more flexible according to a top comparison company. Insurancewide say that measures should be taken to ensure that private medical insurance policies are accessible and relevant to all members of the public – whether that be young or old, male or female or for a family or a single person. They suggest that different tiers of policies should be made available. Freedom Healthnet has offered four levels of private health cover ever since it began meaning that it already offers a flexible range of policies varying from the basic essential gold level of insurance to the diamond plus comprehensive policy.


The comparison company also recommended that health insurance providers should be more flexible within their own policies to allow customers to tailor them to suit their personal needs. This is something that is again already available with Freedom Healthnet, who have optional add ons even on the most basic policy. If you choose to pay a small extra premium, specialist consultation and treatment fees, X-rays, and physiotherapy are just some of the facilities you can have access to. On the top level of private health cover, alternative therapies, rehabilitation and psychiatric treatment are also available for those people that feel that these options suit them. Patients also have the chance to choose whether they would like to be treated in an NHS hospital, in a private healthcare centre or in a clinic abroad giving Freedom Healthnet’s policies even more flexibility than it’s nearest competitors.
