Health insurance
Though the NHS provides healthcare services, some people still choose to protect themselves further with private health insurance. Health insurance provides additional control and quicker access to medical professionals, services and treatments. With health insurance, you can access medical treatment faster, have a say in where you’re seen and receive care that’s not available on the NHS.
At Everest Mortgages, we know finding the ideal health insurance policy can be daunting. There are a lot of providers, a lot of different types of cover, and grey areas about what’s covered, when and where. We simplify things by guiding you through the process, ensuring you find the ideal protection for your circumstances and budget.

What is health insurance?
Health insurance helps to cover the cost of private healthcare, should you become unwell. You pay a monthly premium, and in return your insurer helps to cover the cost of private consultations, tests or treatments included in your plan. It’s designed to work alongside the NHS, not replace it completely. This means you can still use NHS services when you want to, but you can rely on your policy at other times.
With health insurance, you benefit from shorter waiting times, a choice of hospitals or clinics, and access to specialists, therapies or treatments that are only offered privately. The level of cover depends on the type of plan you choose, and it can vary from one provider to another.

Types of health insurance
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all health insurance policy, as everyone is different, with different medical needs and budgets. This is why it’s important to work with Everest Mortgages, as we’re able to find health insurance policies that tick every box for you as an individual. Health insurance can be tailored to your circumstances, whether you’re buying for yourself, your partner or your whole family.
Individual health insurance is perfect if you want faster access to treatment and flexibility around where and when you’re seen, and joint cover protects you and your partner under a single policy. There are even health insurance policies designed for children. Family health insurance policies are also available, which provide cover for you, your partner and your children. This usually works out cheaper than buying multiple individual policies.
