Exeter Family Friendly Private Health Insurance Comparison and Review

Of the all the websites that I have reviewed this has got to be one of the most helpful of them all.  It is interesting to look through, plus most of the pages are animated which makes it even more fun.  This web page also gives you an in depth look at what you could pay if you had to opt to pay for treatment done privately.  On trawling through many websites on private health insurance, this company not only offers you good deals, but their website is such good fun and straight forward, that it almost has you hooked straight away. 

How much would a medical procedure cost privately:

Exeter Friendly have looked into what certain procedures would cost you if you paid privately, here are some examples:

•    Cataract operation – £2,700
•    Hernia Repair – 1,820
•    MRI Scanning – £600
•    Arthroscopy of knee – £3,500
•    Hip replacement – £11,000
•    Out patient consultation - £150.00

The above will differ, depending on what area of the UK you are in and whereabouts you opt to have your treatment.

Getting the right sort of cover is essential when it comes to health insurance, knowing that you will be covered for such investigations as scanning is imperative.  Before any operation is performed then you will usually have a series of tests done, this is often referred to as diagnostic testing, so, for example, if you had a bad back then your consultant would probably investigate the cause of your bad back via an MRI scan.  It would depend on the area of pain, as to how many areas would have to be scanned.  If you had to have your cervical, lumbar and thoracic spine scanned then this would usually be classed as being three areas, meaning that the cost of a scan alone could amount to hundreds of pounds, and this is before any operation is even considered.

What other benefits can I expect?

•    Insurance cover for hospital fees and nursing fees.
•    Insurance cover for hospital accommodation.
•    Insurance cover for anaesthetist fees, hospital fees and physician fees whilst you are staying in hospital.
•    Insurance cover for any diagnostic testing such as CT, MRI and Ultrasound scanning.
