Your questions, answered plainly.

ComparePMI is an independent, wide-panel private medical insurance comparison and introduction service for individuals, families and businesses across the UK. We’re independent: not owned by or tied to any insurer. We compare a wide panel and, if you want advice, introduce you to an FCA-authorised adviser who provides it.

Private medical insurance (PMI) pays for the private diagnosis and treatment of new, short-term (“acute”) conditions — letting you skip NHS waiting lists and choose when, where and by whom you’re treated.

There’s no single price — it depends on your age, location, the level of cover, your excess and any extras. We’ll get you real figures across a wide panel of insurers. Our guide breaks it down: How much does private health insurance cost?

Getting started takes a couple of minutes online or by phone. A full comparison usually takes just one short conversation. Start your free comparison.

Yes — group schemes for employers of any size: group private medical insurance, group life assurance (death in service), group income protection, group critical illness, key man insurance and shareholder protection. Visit our business & group page.

You contact your insurer, or the FCA-authorised firm that arranged your cover, and they help you through it. Most claims need a GP referral and pre-authorisation from the insurer before treatment. See our step-by-step guide to claiming.
