Illness cover, NHS or what?

BUPA is just one of the cover providing companies.

I can confirm that after breaking my ankle at Brands Hatch last year I called BUPA and didn't even bother with NHS once I was out of hospital. I went to a private hospital and saw an Orthopeadic Consultant and it was all covered by BUPA.

All the MRI scans and x-rays were covered, even when I requested an MRI to check out the ligament damage - this is something that would never be entertained by NHS.

They covered my shoulder when I trashed it playing rugby. Well worth it I reckon.

Just like any insurance, get a few quotes from different companies. Watch out for their exclusion clauses based on your medical history. For example, if you've had pneumonia in the past, they might not cover any chest related problem in the future!

Worth doing though.
