In particular, it showcases the value of Private Medical Insurance (PMI) and Cash Plans to consumers.
ABI’s assistant director, head of health and protection, Raluca Boroianu?Omura, said health insurance is designed to work alongside all the services offered by the NHS, that customers can continue to access.
Boroianu?Omura said the ABI’s new guide outlines some of the reasons individuals might choose private healthcare and how insurance can help them to access and fund this.
“Private medical insurers help individuals to gain access to specialised treatment, tests and scans. Insurers also look after the everyday health and wellbeing of individuals through cash plans for treatments like dental care and physiotherapy.
