UK Residents Are Skipping Long NHS Waiting Times With This Affordable Health Insurance

By Joe Lake December 2025

The UK's Best Plans From £27.94 Per Month*

You may qualify for private medical insurance for yourself and your family simply by meeting these two criteria:

You’re a UK resident
You’re 18 or older

If you meet these requirements, you could be eligible for private medical cover that helps pay for treatment costs related to illness, injuries, disease and many of the health issues we face throughout life.

With NHS waiting lists at record highs and ongoing staff shortages, private health insurance offers faster access to treatment, more choice, and greater peace of mind when you need care the most.

Starting from as little as £27.94 per month*, UK residents can avoid lengthy NHS delays and benefit from timely care, private rooms, and a more comfortable treatment experience.

Finding the right private health insurance plan with ProtectionPlans is simple. Just answer a few quick questions on their site, and they’ll connect you with an FCA-regulated intermediary who can help you secure the best policy for your needs.
