Health Cash Plans

Hey Folks,

I am wanting to start a Health Cash plan, as i expect over the next few months and year to be having alot of physiotherapy as i have a bad back and neck. The NHS waiting times for these treatments can be very long and ideally i want to try get my conditions sorted as soon as possible

I note Simply Health have a no waiting period before claiming, but i have been advised that the service with them sometimes is not good. Does anyone know of any further cash plans that have a no waiting period before claims can be made please?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Kind Regards,

David

    do the health cash plans not exclude existing medical conditions? or a period of no claims on starting the plan

    Some don't - the OP mentioned one that doesn't exclude except for the cash payment for hospital stays
  • I've had a Simply Health plan for a number of years now and have had no problems apart from them insisting on seeing a copy of a prescription a couple of times despite me telling them that my surgery sends them electronically to the pharmacy.
    However, I've always been paid out as soon as I remind them of this.
