Helping you pay for the cost of routine healthcare such as dental check-ups, new glasses or contact lenses, physiotherapy and other treatments.
Put simply, the Health Cash Plan is an easy, low-cost way to look after your essential medical requirements, including 100% of your money back on dental and optical cover (up to a maximum of £130 benefit each per year). The plan also covers therapy treatments and you'll also get money back towards specialist diagnostic consultation fees.
With cover at £23.45 per month, a few treatments a year is often all it takes to see the plan pay its way.
Plus:
• There are no medical questions
• Cover for accidents is instant.
It isn't private medical insurance, but what it will do, is give you cash to cover more routine services, such as a visit to the optician, a dental filling or physio for a sore shoulder. It even pays out £200 for a new baby (a 300-day qualifying period applies). Terms and conditions apply, see policy wording for full exclusions and limitations.
Rather than relying on savings or a credit card, the health cash plan enables you to claim back some or all the expense.... because those expenses do add up!
