Private Health Insurance - who and what is covered

Private medical insurance will cover the cost of specialists, surgery, accommodation and nursing bills in a private hospital, or in a private ward in an NHS hospital, drugs and X-rays. You will get better facilities, tastier food and a private room, often with a phone and television.

Generally, policies do not cover the treatment of long-term illnesses that cannot be cured, such as asthma, diabetes or multiple sclerosis, or pre-existing medical conditions. This means you can't buy medical insurance today for an operation you know you will need in a few months.

Policies generally refuse to pay for treating conditions like alcoholism/drug abuse, dental treatment (although this is sold separately), HIV/AIDS, infertility, normal pregnancy or cosmetic surgery.

Some insurers will accept new customers at any age, others have an age limit. But the older you are, the more expensive it is. This means it tends to price people out of the product just when they need it most.
