The Health Insurance Shop : Sickness and Accident Cover


Product profile

 

Description

A policy that not only pays a sum of money each week, but also a lump sum in the event of an accident.
 
Self employed people such as Truck Drivers, Plumbers, Electricians and builders would say if I break an arm or leg I will go to the hospital in the morning they will set my leg in plaster and send me home in the afternoon. I will not be able to claim on my Private Medical Insurance as I had no overnight stay but I will be laid up and unable to work for some considerable time.
