Private Health Insurance

Private medical insurance is covers the costs of private medical treatment for curable short-term illness or injury (acute conditions). One of the main reasons for buying this type of insurance is the reassurance that treatment is available promptly rather than joining a year long waiting list, if they become ill or are injured.

As a private patient you usually have the choice of when treatment will take place, the specialist who treats you and the hospital. Similar to hotel rooms, you will usually have the privacy of an en-suite room, complete with TV and other home comforts.
