Tesco Private Health Insurance
Many people across the country want the added benefits of private health insurance without the added cost. Tesco works with ASA PPP healthcare to provide its customers with comprehensive and affordable health insurance. Customers can choose from one of three policies - Core Cover, Premium Cover and Finest Cover. The Core Cover is the most economical option, costing just under £15 per month. If you need to undergo treatment at hospital on the recommendation of a consultant, the Core policy covers the cost of that treatment. A Premium policy covers your hospital treatment, as well as out-patient consultations both before and after treatment for up to £10,000 per year. You can purchase a Premium policy for £25 a month. The Finest policy is the most inclusive; in addition to all of the above coverage, you can claim the cost of psychiatric treatment, as well as the cost of treating certain pregnancy complications. Tesco also covers your private hospital transport service - a hired car or a taxi to take you to and from hospital for treatment - for up to £200. A Finest Cover policy costs just under £33 per month.
Every policy comes with a comprehensive standard cover that protects against many of today’s health costs. If you are treated in hospital as an NHS patient for a condition that would be covered under private insurance, you can claim a cash payment of up to £50 for each night you spend in hospital, for a maximum of 40 nights every year. If you are a private in-patient or day-patient, and you need to move between hospitals for essential medical treatment, Tesco will pay for your private road ambulance. Most people would rather avoid hospitals altogether; for certain treatments, like the administration of intravenous antibiotics, you can receive full cover for your treatment at home. And since hospitals can be scary places for children, Tesco will cover the cost of a parent’s accommodation in hospital if their child - insured under the same policy - needs to spend the night as an in-patient. With all policies, you have access to a 24-hour helpline manned by qualified healthcare professionals.
Applying for health insurance from Tesco is simple; there is no maximum age limit imposed on any policies, and representatives will ask about your medical history only if you are over the age of 75. Every policy holder is also entitled to a No Claims Discount; the total discount varies, so speak with a representative to find out how much money you can save on your policy.
