Can I choose where I am treated/my private hospitals?

There are three different options you can choose: Essential, Countrywide and Extended Hospital Lists. Essential lists tend to help lower your premium and covers you to stay in NHS private patient units along with your local private hospitals. The Countrywide list extends the coverage of the Essential list, giving you access to private hospitals and clinics. The Extended list gives you access to the widest access including London private hospitals.

What is the difference between the NHS and Private Health Insurance?

As a nation we are fortunate to have a publicly funded health service, giving everyone access to treatment at little to no cost. Due to increasing pressure on the NHS, many people now face long waiting lists and delayed or cancelled treatment. Whilst receiving private treatment you will not face long waiting lists for treatment, in fact you are likely to be seen within a week or so. Health Insurance offers you access to a choice of hospitals and treatment times that suit you, with overnight stays often being in a private room. More on the NHS and Private Medical Insurance here.

Can I get cover for cancer treatment should I be diagnosed?

Health Insurance gives you access to the latest cancer treatment, as well as medication and procedures that don’t tend to be obtainable on the NHS. Private cancer care is intended to make your treatment as comfortable as possible by making chemotherapy at home an option, along with home nursing.

Can I get cover for my pre-existing condition?

Long NHS waiting lists and cancelled or delayed procedures are a common motivation for initial enquiries into Health Insurance. Depending on the condition, it is unlikely it will be covered on your plan. Although, if you have a pre-existing condition speak to one of our expert advisors as different underwriting options may suit your needs.

Raising money at the Great Bristol Run

On Sunday 11th May, six of our team ran in the AJ Bell Great Bristol Run on behalf of Usay Compare.

We're pleased to announce that so far between our runners they've already raised over £2500 for our charity of the Year, Southmead Hospital Charity. A fantastic achievement!

In early 2024, we lost a dear colleague and friend to many of our team, Aly. Southmead Hospital Charity provided excellent care for Aly and we continue to raise money for the charity.

The Great Bristol Run offers participants the opportunity to run a 10k or half marathon, whilst raising money for a cause of their choice. Some of our team took on the 10k whilst others opted for the half.

For our team, they wanted to take part in the run to honour Aly's memory and raise money for the excellent work that the charity do.

"Aly was the heart and soul of Usay Compare, and her presence is deeply missed every single day. Over a year ago, we lost Aly, but her spirit and the joy she brought to our lives continue to inspire us."

As our chosen Charity of the Year, we will continue to raise money for Southmead Hospital Charity throughout 2025.
