How does private health insurance work?

  • A calendar on a coffee table implying private health fast-track appointments

    Fast-track appointments with specialists

    We’ve all been there – waiting for the opportunity to even be assigned an appointment. There is nothing worse than feeling ill and worrying that it could be serious. Private health insurance provides fast access to specialist consultations, even treatment, so you don’t have to worry about your health.

    24/7 health information helplines

    Most insurers offer helplines so you can speak to a real life human being when you need it the most. You can get the help and support you need when you’re worried about your health and unsure what to do. Get the right support and advice without feeling like your life is on hold.

  • What is private health insurance?

    It's a type of insurance policy that gives individuals or employers access to healthcare (consultants and treatments) away from the NHS. If you have cover, your GP or consultant can refer you to private healthcare.

  • I just want to compare a table of prices, like car insurance

    Unlike car insurance where you can simply state the age and mileage of a vehicle, private health insurance often takes into account pre-existing conditions and your medical history. Speaking to an advisor helps to ensure there are no misunderstandings and that you get the cover appropriate for you.

  • Is >>Skipfast an insurer?

    No, we are a fast and straight-forward way to get quotes from trusted health insurance advisors in the UK who will work out the right policy for you and will check against most of the private health insurers in the UK.
