BMI Healthcare and Health Insurance
BMI Healthcare is the leading healthcare provider in the UK. It has a network of over 70 hospitals and clinics across the country, which specializes in providing acute surgical services. With its commitment to providing the highest quality of medical services, BMI Healthcare has been the hospital of choice of most consultants for years.
BMI Healthcare is affiliated with most of the major Private Health Insurance providers in the UK. Whether you pay your own PMI policy or you have it as part of your employee's benefits, you can use your insurance to have access to a wide range of medical services and treatments at any BMI hospitals. You can also schedule the treatment at your most convenient time.
BMI Healthcare also works in partnership with NHS Choose and Book Program. Choose and Book gives you the flexibility to pick the hospital as well as the date and time of your treatment. Choosing a BMI hospital for your treatment gives you access to high quality of service and comfortable private facilities. BMI has access to the updated NHS waiting list per specialty so that each patient can check this list first before deciding whether to wait on the list or to pay for their own treatment. This is also useful if you have indicated on your Private Health Insurance policy that you would not make a claim if NHS can treat you within six weeks.
No matter how you would pay for your medical costs, whether you have a Private Health Insurance, pay for your medical bills or wait on the NHS list, you can have access to the best quality healthcare services at any BMI hospitals.
