Medical InsuranceAs hospital waiting lists continue to grow and the NHS continues to struggle under the pressure, the appeal of private medical care is increasing. Private medical insurance covers the cost of private treatment for curable short term illness or injury and usually includes the costs of surgery, specialists' fees, diagnostic scans and tests and accommodation at a private hospital or in a private ward of an NHS hospital. As a rule, these policies do not cover you against incurable chronic or critical illness including asthma, diabetes or multiple sclerosis and most cover does not normally include pre-existing conditions. It is important to bear in mind that your private medical insurance premiums will likely rise above the rate of general inflation each year.
