5 questions to ask yourself before
renewing your health insurance policy

Is your current health insurance policy still relevant to your healthcare needs?
Were you able to use your policy as expected and were you satisfied with the resolution of your claims?
Have you recently reviewed your policy and premiums?
Were you always happy with the service you received from the health insurance company?
Do you think your existing health insurance is worth the premium you are paying?

If you answered NO to any of these questions, you should review your existing health insurance plan and think about alternatives.

Top tips for switching your private medical insurance

1. Never choose your health insurance cover solely on price

More expensive health insurance plans are not necessarily better, and conversely, don’t just go for the cheapest health insurance plan, as it might not provide the cover you need.

2. Ask for cover under the same terms as your current provider

We will ask the new health insurance company if they can offer you cover under the same terms as your previous provider, to ensure that new exclusions are not added to your policy.

3. Switch at renewal

One of the best times to switch health insurance is close to your renewal date. If you choose to switch during your insurance term, your current health insurance company might charge you specific fees.
