Tailored individual policies for an aged parent insured by a family member or paying themselves.
Most leading UK insurers will underwrite new policies up to age 90, with cover continuing for life thereafter. This means an elderly parent in their seventies or eighties can usually still take out a fresh individual plan, subject to underwriting and acceptance.
Pre-existing conditions are typically excluded, but conditions diagnosed after the policy starts can normally be covered. If a new issue arises after the start date, your parent gets prompt access to consultations, scans, surgery and treatment at private hospitals.
When health concerns emerge later in life, time matters. Private cover gives quicker access to specialist consultants, diagnostic tests and treatment at a hospital and consultant of choice. Save money by comparing leading insurers side by side.
