Why General & Medical?
Benefits of private medical healthcare… with General & Medical
Low cost health insurance.
From as little as £13 per month* you could have private medical insurance. That’s about 43 pence a day, not a lot for your peace of mind so, maybe it’s time you considered private medical insurance from General & Medical.

Faster, convenient diagnosis and treatment
Lengthy patient waiting times in the NHS are inconvenient and an obstacle to getting the medical attention you want and need quickly. Private health insurance means no queues and access to faster diagnosis and treatment, at a time that suits you and fits in with your lifestyle.

Choice and value for you
Private Medical Insurance conveniently fits in with modern living because you choose when to be treated and where. Our healthcare range also offers value and choice because we work with medical providers throughout the UK to ensure the best rates for our personal, business, sports and expatriate clients.
As a PMI specialist our company profile may not be as high as those offering PMI on the back of other insurance products, however our healthcare range is highly competitive when judged on price point and level of cover as demonstrated by Defaqto comparisons. (see below)

Continuity of care in privacy and comfort
Recuperation can be difficult amongst the noise and general busyness of an NHS hospital ward. Wouldn’t it be so much nicer to recover in the privacy of your own room, have your own television and en-suite facilities, eat good food, to know that you are being cared for by the same consultant throughout the course of your treatment and that your loved ones can visit when they want to. Medical Insurance from General & Medical can make your hospital experience a better one.

Always improving the quality of care
Always looking to improve the care a General & Medical client receives, we work with the best known names in UK medical healthcare such as Spire (formerly Bupa Hospitals), B.M.I. and Ramsay Hospital groups. In order to deliver better care we are advised by our own panel of medical professionals which include the highly respected consultant Neurosurgeon Dr Helen Fernandes and we are commercial partners with the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland.

Traditionally based customer service.
General & Medical clients enjoy the benefit of having their own medically trained contact whose name is known to them thereby avoiding call centre irritation from repeating the same information to different operators. Our clients can benefit from medical advice dispensed by our 24 hour GP advice line** or on a variety of matters such as legal and financial with our Employee Assistance Programme**. All this is part of delivering what we call customer service which is no call centres, no call queuing… just people.

*Approximate price based on: Equs cover for age group 31-35, First Choice hospital option and £100 excess.
