How to get private healthcare
Excerpt from the Money to the Masses podcast episode 464 - • Podcast Ep 464 - Funding private healthcar...
Watch the full episode to hear me discuss the growing trend of people opting to self-fund private medical care due to long NHS waiting times.
I outline the cost of various private medical procedures, such as MRI scans (£200-£500), CT scans (£400-£800), and hip replacements (£12,000). I also highlight the two main ways to access private care: through insurance or self-funding. For those who cannot afford to pay upfront, I mention that private hospitals offer credit options and payment plans. I stress the importance of considering private medical insurance, which typically ranges from £25 to £100 per month, and suggest a middle-ground policy like Benenden Health for those seeking a more affordable option.
