Private healthcare providers are seeing a growing demand for private healthcare, fuelled by concerns over waiting times for procedures, operations, and diagnosis via the NHS.  This is subsequently impacting the number of people seeking insurance to cover the cost of private medical care and treatment by taking matters into their own hands. *

The NHS coped admirably throughout the recent global pandemic, but it is evident that this has impacted on waiting periods for those seeking some medical procedures.  Private medical care offers patients the advantage of skipping waiting NHS lists and the ability to receive treatment in a much shorter time period.  With private medical care, patients have access to tailored care and earlier diagnosis, offering peace of mind to individuals and families.  The opportunity for earlier diagnosis may also mean better survival rates and faster recovery times.

Paying for a procedure yourself through private medical care may be very costly and could make a large dent in your savings.  Taking out private medical insurance paid for via a monthly premium could help to provide you with a safety net which will help cover the cost of consultations, tests, pathology, operations, cancer care and much more.

There are many levels of cover available for private individuals, families, and businesses; each type of plan has its own terms and conditions which can make choosing the right cover for you more difficult.  David Allen Financial Services are seeing an increase in private medical insurance enquiries.  We can help search the market, to find you the best cover tailored to suit your needs and budget.  If you are seeking options for private medical cover and would like to speak to one of our advisers, call 01228 711888 or 01387 270340.
