1U Flexicare
The NHS excels in providing treatment for certain conditions, such as emergency care and cancer treatment. As a result, 1U FlexiCare does not cover these. Instead, 1U FlexiCare focuses on the majority of the most common surgical procedures where the NHS has longer waiting times.
- Substantial savings over the cost of traditional private medical insurance
- Covers the cost of private treatment for an approved list of procedures with long waiting times on the NHS
- Gives you the choice – you can choose to go private or you can take the cash value for the operation and have your treatment elsewhere, at home or abroad
- No waiting – includes consultations, investigations and tests so you get a fast diagnosis
- Flexibility – you choose how you want your treatment, where you want it and when you want it
- No hassle – your bill is settled directly with any approved hospital and there is no excess to pay.
