Private healthcare insurance, or private medical insurance as it\u2019s otherwise known by, is designed to give you fast access to eligible health treatment when you need it.<\/p>\n

It gives you all the benefits of private healthcare without the worry of how to pay for it. You pay regular subscriptions then your insurer pays for your treatment, as long as it\u2019s covered under your plan.<\/p>\n

When you join us at AXA PPP healthcare, you\u2019ll have peace of mind that you\u2019ll have access to the fast diagnosis and treatment you want, along with genuine help, support and understanding from people who care. Our private health insurance plan, Personal Health, covers treatment for a wide range of conditions. This includes the cost of surgery and specialists\u2019 fees and drugs if you need to spend time in hospital as an in-patient.<\/p>\n
