Health Insurance

in Insurance & life assurance
Hi there, am looking to get some Health Insurance cover for myself but haven't got a clue where to look or who to go with. Basically am looking for a pretty comprehensive cover and want to be with someone who are easy to deal with but am not aware of any good comparison sites. A few come up in google but am always wary of using them. Had a search here as well and couldn't find much either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    There is a PMI comparison site recommended on here (PMI Partners?) and there are comparisons on comparethemarket and gocompare.

    Moneysupermarket also does it but they are generally awful at comparing.

    When you say health do you mean permanent health insurance or private medical insurance?
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.

    Sorry I'm not quite sure what the difference is :o Basically what I need it for is if I do ever fall ill I can go in privately to meet doctors to speed up the process or if I need an operation done instead of going on the NHS list I can have things done more quickly. I'm not sure what category that falls under.

    Notice you are a Financial Adviser as well, do you sell Health Insurance as well? Would you recommend the sites that Wutang has kindly provided or any other you know of? Many Thanks :)

    Sorry to bump my own thread up but am interested in knowing what the difference is between permanent health insurance and private medical insurance. :)

    PHI pays a tax free income if off work due accident or sickness

    PMI will allow you to see a private consultant in a private hospital and therefore dodge NHS waiting lists
