Private Health Insurance

[Halo Jones]

keep your eye on those premiums !

Yay for permie benefits (yes I know I pay tax on it but ‘tis still cheaper than a direct policy)

Why the hell do people go into a caring profession if they don't care?

To get into the UK with a work permit.

I had surgery last year paid for by my employer's Aviva coverage. But I ended up in an NHS hospital with NHS nurses though I did get a private room. And as it turned out Aviva didn't quite pay for it all; because the surgeon worked to BUPA rates and not to Aviva rates (which are less) it ended up costing me £380. Not a big deal, but something to bear in mind. As always with insurance cheapest isn't necessarily the best.

BTW this policy is "medical history disregarded" - i.e. doesn't matter about pre-existing conditions. Not sure you can get that for yourself.
