Avoid NHS Waiting Lists.
Medical insurance
The NHS has huge backlogs and the costs of private medical care are rising rapidly with hip or knee surgery costing £10,000-£15,000. If you are acutely ill or injured, private medical insurance (PMI) provides swift access to a wide range of private hospitals and specialists whilst covering most of these costs.
Customised medical insurance for individuals and families.
- Comprehensive policies – all outpatient and inpatient hospital stays, specialists, surgeon, nursing and anaesthetist costs, X-rays, dental, optical and travel cover can be added.
- Premium policies - personal case advisers, global coverage, choice of consultants and specialists in the UK and overseas, the best private hospitals and emergency assistance.
- Reserve policies – access to private care but with high excesses, usually inpatient only, there to protect against the worst situations, for clients who are able to pay for minor care costs but want reassurance if serious illness or conditions occur.
We partner with world class insurance providers such as.
Small Business Schemes May Provide Better And Cheaper Cover.
- Private medical cover for SMEs – from 1 to 25 employees with the option to add spouses, partners and children, more people can result in savings.
- Different levels of cover - from basic to enhanced, across all employees or with scope to increase cover for specific employees or directors.
- Premiums paid by the company – treated as an employee benefit so NI payable and must be declared on P11D.
- Cover for offshore employees – we can arrange a blend of UK cover and overseas cover to ensure a hybrid team is protected.

Elevate Medical Insurance FAQs.
How does private medical insurance work if I have a claim?
Generally the client contacts a help line where the insurer will discuss their situation and advise on what to do next. If clients incur costs before contacting the insurer first these may not be reimbursed and wait times may be longer.
How can I keep the costs down?
Cover can be limited to in-patient only (generally hospital care and operations), higher excesses can be arranged (the amount the client pays per claim before the insurer contributes), clients can also opt to use NHS cancer care or only access private care if their NHS wait time is more than 6 weeks.
Do I have a choice of hospitals?
Lower cost policies limit the client to a list of hospitals, more expensive policies offer a wider range of hospitals, premiums are often more expensive if you require access to Central London hospitals.
Are any conditions excluded?
Yes, typically existing or on-going medical conditions and past conditions are subject to underwriting. Typical exclusions include cosmetic procedures, pregnancy & childbirth, GP fees (unless private GP option taken), hospitals not on the provider list, any excesses/deductibles agreed and fees incurred if NHS cancer or 6-week options taken.
Is dental or optical cover included?
These are usually optional add-ons, often cash benefits ie. the client incurs the costs and recalims a % back subject to annual limits.
Am I covered abroad?
This varies, global policies are available, some policies have emergency assistance or travel insurance add-ons whilst others are UK only.
What type of service do Elevate provide?
Based on clients requirements and circumstances we will research our panel of insurers and propose a suitable solution which may not necessarily be the most suitable.

Simone Chawda2021-04-16I could not recommend Elevate enough, they were super helpful in explaining policy cover / options & made the process very easy for me to choose. It was great to have a trustworthy & reliable company finding the best cover for me personally & not in the best interests of commission etc Thank you Elevate!

James Rainbow2021-04-09I had never used an insurance broker before but getting car renewals was getting more and more time consuming. I was referred to Blain at Elevate by a friend and now wonder why I didn't do this before. Elevate are great to deal with and I now have a better level of cover than before at a lower cost with 95% of the hassle removed.
jack gibbs2021-03-21Great personal service! Working with Elevate ensured I recieved efficient and stress free landlord insurance keeping me covered across various properties.
Sean M2021-03-10Just wanted to give a big shout out to Dan White and his team at Elevate Insurance Brokers. Having just moved house and tired of the continual high rises in insurance premiums, I chose to stay local and support local. Dan made sure we had the right cover in place and didn’t leave any stone un-turned. His attention to detail in making sure the cover we needed was second to none. All in, he managed to beat my renewal cost and the top three providers, increased my cover and provided me with the peace of mind that my house and personal belongings were covered. #staylocal #investinlocal #localisbest #homeinsurance #insurance #elevate #trust #confidence #happycustomer
Tom S2020-06-15Great service as ever from Elevate! I already insure my main car with them and had to add another in rather a hurry and I didn't have the time to spend ages on the phone organising, Elevate handled it all seemlessly and had my cover updated perfectly at a reasonable price. Can't recommend them highly enough!
John Yates2020-06-10Contacted Dan and his team to discuss my business insurance requirements. Excellent advice and very thorough explanations on various aspects of the policy ensured we now have the appropriate insurance in place. Thanks Dan.
