Individual private medical insurance

Private medical insurance can help you access private healthcare when you need it most, bypassing waiting lists and getting you back on your feet

Private medical insurance for individuals and families

Private medical insurance is designed to cover the costs of private healthcare for acute conditions, illnesses or injuries that respond to treatment and are likely to be cured. Instead of relying solely on public healthcare systems, having a policy in place can provide you and your family with peace of mind, access to private facilities, and greater control over the timing of your treatment.

Whether you are looking for a policy for yourself, your partner, or your children, there are many options available. NFP can help you understand your options, compare the market, and find cover that suits your personal circumstances, budget, and priorities.

How NFP can help 

Choosing the right health insurance isn't just about looking at a price tag; it’s about understanding what you are actually covered for. As an independent adviser, NFP works for you, not the insurance providers. 

Compare the market

We compare a wide range of insurers, helping you understand cover levels, terms and options.

Demystify the jargon

We explain the small print clearly, so you know what is included, excluded and important.

Find value

We help balance cover and budget, so you are not paying for features you do not need.

Ongoing support

We support you from application to renewal, providing clear advice whenever you need it.

What to consider when choosing cover

Not all policies are the same. When we discuss your requirements, we will look at several key factors to help refine your search:

Scope of cover

 Does the policy cover just in-patient treatment, or out-patient and diagnostics too?

Excess levels

Selecting an excess can often help reduce your monthly premium, but it needs to be an amount you are comfortable paying should you need to claim.

Hospital lists

Different policies offer access to different networks of private hospitals. We check that your policy aligns with your local healthcare providers.

Pre-existing conditions

It is vital to understand how your medical history may affect your cover. We can guide you through the different underwriting methods used by insurers.
