PMIPrivate Health Insurance is useful. Do you really want to spend a year waiting for treatment? We can help.. Since the war when the NHS was founded on the principle of free treatment for all the average age of mortality has steadily increased. The discovery of more effective treatments, the improvement in nutrition has meant that people tend to live longer in better health. This means of course that they are now suffering from more and more complaints in their old age which can be treated thus increasing the demand for new, expensive and more frequent treatment. In addition the number of people in active work has decreased so the taxes being raised are insufficient to pay for the demand for the NHS. The shortage has meant that many people are being asked to wait over a year to be treated. Do you want to be one of them? If you take out Private Health Insurance you will have the benefit of faster access to treatment. One worry people have with Private Medical Insurance is that they may not be able to pay the premiums as they get older. We have good news. We can arrange a policy that will always rate you on the age you were when you took it out. In the eyes of the Insurance Company you will never grow older. Critical IllnessCritical illness insurance provides payment if you survive the onset of a specific list of illnesses e.g. heart attack, cancer etc. The range of policies is wide which means that you should look for a specialist. We have access to an IFA who will look into the market for you and advise you on the best policies available. Income ProtectionIncome protection insurance provides cover if you are unable to work. There are two forms - one is to provide cover until a specific age - so if you are injured when you are, say, 25 it could pay out for 30 years (this is relatively expensive). The other acts in conjunction with redundancy cover and will pay out for one or two years only. Personal accident and sicknessThis offers what are known as capital benefits - fixed sums should you die or lose an arm/ leg/ eyesight - as well as cover for one or two years if you are unable to work after an accident. There is also the facility to provide sickness cover for a period of a year. B. Portwood & Co Ltd, provides a full range of other insurence related products. |
