What is Health and Protection Insurance?

We insure the things that matter most to you. 

Health and protection insurance provides coverage for individuals or businesses against unexpected events that may affect their health or income.

For personal health and protection insurance, policies can include health insurance, critical illness cover, income protection insurance, and life insurance. Health insurance covers medical expenses, hospitalization costs, and treatments for illnesses or injuries. Critical illness cover provides a lump sum payment if the policyholder is diagnosed with a specified critical illness. Income protection insurance provides a regular income if the policyholder is unable to work due to illness or injury. Life insurance provides a lump sum payment to the policyholder’s beneficiaries in the event of their death.

For business health and protection insurance, policies can include group health insurance, key person insurance, and business loan protection. Group health insurance provides coverage for employees’ medical expenses and treatments. Key person insurance provides financial protection to the business in the event of the death or critical illness of a key employee. Business loan protection provides coverage for business loans in the event of the death or critical illness of a business owner or key employee.

The purpose of health and protection insurance is to provide financial security and peace of mind to individuals and businesses in the face of unexpected events that can have a significant impact on their health or income.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use an insurance broker?
O
P
You certainly don't have to! You are free to use a comparison site (and get a fluffy meerkat for doing so) BUT the difference is that YOU must tell them what cover you want, not the other way around and without seeking advice how can you be sure the cover you request is best suited to your needs?

Where using a broker is different is that WE can tell you what we feel would be best suited for your needs and make a suitable recommendation.

When insuring your life, your health and your income you want to make sure you have the correct cover in place - let us ensure this happens.

What types of protection insurance are available?
O
P

There are several types of protection insurance, including life insurance, critical illness insurance, income protection insurance, and accident insurance.

How much does protection insurance cost?
O
P
Depends...

A bit of a cop out right! But it's true, it depends hugely on the cover you require.

Life Insurance can be as little as £x per month and health insurance can start from £x per month.

One thing you can be sure of is that we work on a whole of market basis, we're not tied to one or two insurers and we will source you the very best cover for your needs whether it's £x a month or £x.

All of our advice to you is free of charge whether you take a policy with us or not, no obligation and all that.

Who needs protection insurance?
O
P

Anyone who wants to ensure that their financial obligations are met in the event of unforeseen events should consider getting protection insurance.

How much protection insurance do I need?
O
P

The amount of protection insurance you need will depend on your personal circumstances and financial obligations. You should consider your debts, living expenses, and the needs of your dependents when determining how much coverage you need.

What is the difference between terminal illness and critical illness?
O
P
Ah the age old question. We've been asked this question more than any other. Let's break it down for you...

Terminal illness will pay a lump sum of money if you are diagnosed with 12 months or less to live. This is included as standard on all good Life Insurance policies.

Critical Illness cover pays a lump sum if you are diagnosed with a specified critical illness during the lifetime of your policy. You won't necessarily die from the illness but it'll certainly have a huge impact on your life. The 'big three' most claimed upon are for Cancer, Heart Attack and Stroke.

Should I place my policy in trust?
O
P
If you want to ensure that, in the event of a claim, the proceeds of your policy are paid to beneficiaries that you have nominated and kept outside of your estate (which can help keep the money away from the inheritance tax man) then the answer to this question is invariably a resounding YES.

Even if inheritance tax (or any other tax for that matter) isn't a concern, the speed in which your beneficiaries receive the monies from your policy is increased hugely, it can literally be years in certain cases where probate is involved and a policy isn't written in trust.

Any broker worth their salt would recommend this. If they don't, ask yourself why.

Which health insurance policy is the best?
O
P
We work with loads of insurers, AVIVA, AXA, Bupa, VitalityHealth, The Exeter, WPA.... The list goes on.

We don't do 'off the shelf' policies and we'll never want to.

The best policy will very much be based on your own circumstances but, rest assured, we'll be able to ensure you have a policy that's completely tailored to your needs.
