Cash plans have been around for many years, and are especially popular at the moment given the rising costs of dental treatments, eye tests, specialist consultations and alternative therapies. And with healthcare costs expected to continue to rise, now really is a great time to consider taking out a health cash plan.
So how do they work? Generally, they focus on a particular area of healthcare, like dental or optical cover. They normally have a choice of benefit levels offering different amounts of cover. The higher the level, the more cover you get, and so the higher the premium.
You can find more information about healthcare cash plans on Martin Lewis’ Money Saving Expert website, who have endorsed these types of plans.
With the Medical Cash Plan, you choose the level of benefit you need, pay the monthly premium relating to your level of cover, and in return you claim cash back up to the maximum amount you’re covered for, once you’ve had your treatment.
We offer more comprehensive plans than just dental or optical policies. That’s because our plans give you added security and peace of mind. Why take out a dental plan when you can take out a policy that protects you for so much more?
Our Medical Cash Plan gives you cover for a whole range of everyday healthcare costs including dental, optical, physiotherapy, osteopathy, homeopathy and specialist consultations (including PET, CT and MRI scans).
