Private Medical Insurance tailored for Contractors
It is Important for Contractors to ensure that they cover themselves and any dependants for medical and hospital treatment costs. As a self employed contractor it is your responsibility to ensure that you protect your income from health risks or unforeseen illnesses – each day that you lose from work is a day’s income lost forever.
“When you’re a Self-Employed Contractor your health is your most important asset – you can’t afford to take time off work. Private Health insurance offers you great security giving you access to prompt, private medical treatment in the event of illness or injury“
Even though the National Health Service has improved a great deal over the past few years, many of us still experience delays and restrictions when trying to make appointments. Instead of having to put up with costly delays caused by NHS waiting lists, contractors and freelancers need trustworthy, good quality private medical health insurance cover to jump waiting lists, be taken care of in comfort and return to work with minimal delay.
With private medical insurance, you are able to select the service and medical care you would like to receive, and particularly when you receive it. You will have a wider choice of treatments and services which are not fully available through the NHS. You will also have free access to private hospital wards.
Private Medical Cover for contractors at preferential rates
We have teamed up with WPA (Western Provident Association), a leading and award winning health insurance company, to provide Contractors and Freelancers with affordable medical insurance called “Flexible Health Freelance”.
WPA has a large client base of self-employed contractors who benefit from lower premiums – typically 25% lower than their comparable product ´Flexible Health´ for individuals and families – why? Because they can’t afford to be ill, therefore they claim less.
Not only is WPA a non-for-profit organisation, they have developed tailored insurance packages specifically for contractors and freelancers. The service is transparent, avoiding the confusion encountered with some other scheme providers.
WPA was recognised as the UK’s most innovative health insurer (Laing & Buisson independent healthcare awards 2006 – 2008).
These are some of the benefits of using WPA’s Private medical for contractors:
- You will not get penalised for claiming, no matter how much you claim (unlike many other schemes).
- Shared responsibility allows you to make significant savings without limiting your insurance cover
- You can be treated at any hospital or by any specialist in the UK, providing freedom of choice.
- ‘Health Top-up’ enables you to reclaim regular medical costs such as private GP consultations, dental treatment, prescriptions, etc.
You can get immediate cover via our dedicated contact Carl Johnson. Our contractor medical insurance advisor is always happy to assist you with your enquiries.
