Expat European Health Insurance - Ibex Insurance

Why buy private health insurance?

Private healthcare insurance is designed to make you feel secure when you need medical treatment. It makes sure that when you need treatment covered by the health insurance plan you’ll be cared for comfortably, quickly and given a greater choice about where and when you receive treatment. It also offers you flexibility around appointment times and a choice of specialists, consultants and surgeons. If you are in hospital you may prefer to have a private en-suite room, access to tv and telephone and more flexible visiting times.

State health service budgets are under strain and waiting times for treatment can be long and may get longer. Private health insurance gives you a wide choice of quality hospitals and other medical facilities to choose from enabling you to receive prompt treatment at a convenient time and location.

However, we know that the world of private medical insurance can be baffling. With so many different policies to choose from how can you decide which is the right one for you and your family?
