How it works

  • You pay your monthly premiums by direct debit. This amount will depend on the type of account you choose, your age when you join and the level of healthcare cover you want.

  • Half goes towards the cost of running the scheme and the other half goes into your own personal deposit account.

  • If you need to make a claim, your personal deposit account will pay a set percentage of the cost based on your age and account type.

  • The amount you can claim depends on the level of cover you've chosen, how much you have in  your personal deposit account and if you have taken the early years top-up option.

  • You can take the early years top-up option to give you an additional £20,000 of medical cover to call on in the first five years, if you don't have enough money in your deposit account to pay your share of a claim.

  • You can boost your personal deposit account balance at any time by paying in extra money, which will increase the amount you can claim in the future, up to your chosen level of cover.

  • You can also withdraw money from your personal deposit account, but this will lower your balance and is likely to reduce the amount you can claim.

  • After the first five years you will receive an annual loyalty reward, which is paid directly into your personal deposit account.
