What is
a Health Cash Plan?
We all know how important it is to keep ourselves healthy, how much
better we feel from regular healthcare.
We also know how expensive these medical costs can be. Whether it's a
trip to the Dentist or a new pair of glasses at the Opticians, it can
be a bill for hundreds of pounds a time is hard to swallow along with
all our other everyday expenses. If you have a family and may receive
these kinds of medical bills several times a year an be even more
difficult.
Health Cash Plans can save you literally hundreds of pounds a year on
these very necessary costs and reduce the impact of these large
healthcare bills on your everyday cashflow.
Health Cash Plans start from around 58p* per person a week, an
achievable cost for most of us. Depending on the Health Cash Plan
provider and the plan you choose these plans will cover between 50%-75%
of costs.
For example if your new spectacles cost £200, your Health Cash
Plan may reimburse you £150, meaning your spectacles have cost
you only £50, a much more tolerable cost to accept.

towards medical expenses often not covered by Health Insurance or the
