Why you should consider Saga Health Insurance
With 30 years’ experience in fast diagnosis and treatment, find peace of mind with Saga
As we get older, our health becomes ever more important – which is why Saga over-50s health insurance gives you reassurance when you need it most, with access to specialists, private treatment and fantastic aftercare.
One key benefit of private health insurance is faster diagnosis and treatment, which can make a speedy recovery more likely. With Saga’s Fixed Fast Track, once you have an open referral from a GP, you'll see a specialist on average twice as quickly as with a traditional named private referral.
All HealthPlan options from Saga include 24-hour access to a practicing GP, private prescriptions, a Health Information Line and Cancer Care team, plus access to treatments and facilities that may not be available on the NHS.
Diagnosis and treatment choice
Whether you want a convenient location or more flexibility with appointment times, having private health insurance can mean greater choice when it comes to diagnosis and treatment.
Saga’s Countrywide Hospital List provides a range of choices. If a hospital stay is required, access to a private room with a TV, phone and internet access can help you recuperate in peace and comfort. Friends and family also have more flexible visiting times, and car parking is usually free too.
Great value and peace of mind
With four levels of Saga Health Insurance to choose from, great cover is available at a competitive price. In fact, 94 per cent of customers who switched from another provider saved money, lowering their premium by more than a third on average (234 surveyed from January 2018 to December 2019).
Coverage options range from the most comprehensive HealthPlan Super (which is Defaqto 5 Star Rated) to HealthPlan Support. Depending on the cover you choose, benefits could include mental health treatment, physiotherapy or alternative therapies – all without needing to see a GP – plus home nursing after a hospital stay.
You can also add options including Extended Cancer Cover and Pre-Existing Hypertension Cover. With up to 60% No Claim Discount available, as well as the option to join Possibilities, Saga’s exclusive membership programme with discounts, offers and prize draws, it’s no surprise that new customers rate the service 9.7 out of 10 on average (128 customers surveyed in 2019).
With private hospitals currently supporting the NHS against COVID-19, some services will be limited temporarily and may result in delays to non-urgent treatments.
