A broker helps you compare health insurance policies from a range of providers, explaining the details in plain English and helping you choose the right plan based on your health needs, lifestyle, and budget. Unlike a specific insurer, we work for you, not the insurance company.

Our services are completely free to you from start to finish and during our whole relationship moving forward. We're paid by the insurers, but our advice remains independent. We only recommend plans that suit your needs, never based on commission.

Buying directly from an insurance company can mean missing out on better value or more suitable coverage. Brokers have access to a wider range of policies, including broker-only deals, and can identify exclusions or hidden costs that aren't obvious upfront. We help you make an informed decision with confidence, not guesswork. If you go direct you do not have that bridge and support between yourself and the Insurer.

Your insurer handles the claim itself, but we’re here to support you if needed. As your broker, we can help chase up claims, explain policy terms, act as a go-between if things get complicated and give you all teh details including policy numbers, claims telephone numbers etc.

Medical underwriting is how an insurer decides what they'll cover for you when you take out a private medical insurance policy. Every provider needs to understand your medical history before they can confirm your terms, and there are a few different ways they go about it. The method used affects how any pre-existing or past conditions are treated, so it's worth understanding which basis applies to your policy.What's the difference between full medical underwriting and moratorium underwriting?Full medical underwriting asks you to declare your relevant medical history upfront, usually through a questionnaire. The insurer then reviews this and confirms at the outset whether any conditions need to be excluded or loaded. This can work in your favour where a past condition has a reasonable chance of being accepted once the full picture is disclosed.Moratorium underwriting doesn't ask for any medical history upfront. Instead, any condition you've had symptoms of, treatment for, or investigations into in a set period before the policy starts (typically the last five years, though this can vary) is automatically excluded for the first two years of cover. If you remain symptom and treatment free for that condition for two continuous years, it may then be added back into your cover automatically.Neither approach is inherently better than the other. Full medical underwriting gives certainty from day one, while moratorium underwriting avoids the need for a detailed medical questionnaire but leaves cover for past conditions less certain until the two years have passed. Which one suits you best usually comes down to your medical history and how much certainty you want from the outset.
