Private medical insurance can fund medically necessary surgery at a private hospital, from joint replacements and hernia repairs to gallbladder removal. Eligible policyholders may choose their consultant and hospital, with scheduled procedure dates rather than waiting-list slots. A broker will help match cover to the surgery types you want included.

Eligible surgical care funded under most comprehensive PMI policies
Comprehensive policies generally fund surgeon, anaesthetist and operating theatre charges for eligible procedures. Cover applies to medically necessary surgery only and is subject to policy limits, underwriting and any pre-existing condition exclusions agreed at outset.
In-patient cover funds your private hospital stay, including a private room where available, nursing care and prescribed medication during recovery. Length of stay is determined by the treating consultant. A broker can compare hospital list options across leading UK insurers for you.
Many policies include post-operative consultations, physiotherapy and follow-up scans linked to the surgery. Limits and session caps vary by insurer and plan tier. Cosmetic surgery is excluded across UK private medical insurance, as is treatment for pre-existing conditions unless specifically agreed.
