FAQs

Given the choice, most customers would choose private care. Equally, most would rather not be ill in the first place.

Only Vitality provides a truly integrated solution that combines the highest quality care with a proven programme to help members improve their health and well being.

Vitality’s unique and comprehensive health insurance presents advisers like you with a profitable new business opportunity from your existing Life insurance client bank.

Private Health Insurance

Our Private Health Insurance gives clients fast, stress-free access to high-quality medical facilities and the very latest treatments and most importantly, at a time and place that suits them.

Products such as life insurance, serious illness cover and income protection can help cover the longer-term financial impact of a health event. But only Private Health Insurance addresses the immediate need for consultation, diagnosis, treatment and recovery quickly and cost-effectively.

Vitality Programme

Our plans offer much more than ordinary health insurance and appeal to a wider audience than traditional Private Health Insurance.

We reward members for their healthy habits with discounts and benefits from big-brand partners like Apple, Amazon, Vue, Champneys and more via the Vitality Programme.

As your clients engage with the Vitality Programme and benefit from better health, it enables us to share some of the insurance savings that emerge in the form of better product benefits and incentives – fuelling a virtuous cycle.

While consumers’ expectations of healthcare provision in the UK are understandably high, when it comes to private healthcare, many underestimate the true costs involved. 

Private Health Insurance is designed to be an affordable way of getting fast, on-demand access to all these services and treatments, without having to directly meet the cost of tests, drugs and procedures.

With services such as Vitality GP, Advanced Cancer Cover and mental health support offered as part of our Core Cover, our cover provides excellent value through our comprehensive Private Health Insurance plans.  

Example: The health costs insured against are significant and one hospital stay can cost more than £10,000

These tables give indicative costs of common procedures however these will vary between different hospitals and will also vary depending on the clinical nature of each case. They are only intended to give an indication as to the costs involved in private healthcare.

Example: Average costs of some common cancer drugs

Using our Quick Quote tool, you can quickly and easily build a plan that best meets your client’s needs, with clear and transparent costs.

Furthermore, the handy saving calculator shows just how much a member can save using our Vitality partners, helping to offset their insurance premium. 

Rewards Programme Savings

Vitality offers more than ordinary health insurance, encouraging healthy behaviour and habits through the Vitality Programme. 

As your clients get healthier, they can help lower premiums, get great rewards, and even more incentives to stay well. It’s a virtuous circle that leads to more rewarding cover and a healthier client.

The more members do, the more discounts and rewards they receive meaning members savings can work out to be more than what they pay for their premium.

• Check points and status
• Redeem Active Rewards
