What is Medical Insurance for Over 70s?

Medical insurance for over 70s is designed to help with the cost of private medical treatment later in life, giving you access to consultations, diagnostic tests and specialist care when you need it. As health needs can change and become more complex with age, cover can be tailored to provide support that suits your circumstances.

Having private medical insurance can also give you an alternative to relying solely on the NHS, with the potential for quicker access to treatment and more choice over where you receive care. Policies vary in terms of cover, cost and how medical history is assessed, allowing you to choose an option that reflects your personal priorities and healthcare needs.
