Health insurance - Health Insurance in the UK
In the UK, Health insurance provides a supplemental level of health care as the National Health Service already provides a comprehensive health service. Because of the NHS, only 12% of people bother to have their own health insurance (compared with 85% in the US) and the majority of these (9%) have their insurance paid by their employer. When a UK employer pays for health insurance, the cost of the insurance is treated by the Inland Revenue as a benefit in kind and is subject to income tax.
In the UK Health insurance only provides cover for curable, short-term health problems. It is designed to enable policyholders to jump the NHS queues to see consultants, be diagnosed, receive surgery or be treated. It does not cover medical care for emergencies or accidents and nor does it provide preventative medical treatment.
There is a wide range of Health insurance policies available in the UK some of which are more restrictive in the scope of their insurance cover than others. Therefore, always carefully read the conditions upon which insurance is provided.
