Personal Private Medical Insurance Launched By NPA Insurance

NPA Insurance is launching Private Medical Insurance designed for pharmacists and their families. The NPA's medical insurance offers comprehensive benefits such as out-patient, inpatient and day-treatment. Complementary therapies and medicines are also included as standard along with helpful advice lines and a claims service with experienced and friendly staff.

Key benefits

- A comprehensive product covering complementary medicines and therapies - these could include physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathy, acupuncture or homeopathy
- No excess
- Easy arrangement of treatment over the phone
- Optional cover for long term health conditions such as heart and cancer treatment
- Easy transfer from existing private health insurer
- A range of helpful advice lines and a 24 hour counselling service.

A bespoke group health scheme can be arranged for larger groups.

Paul Coleman, NPA Insurance Director, explains some of the particular advantages of taking out medical insurance from NPA Insurance: "Our research showed that many NPA members already have some form of health insurance but that there is a need for a more comprehensive offering. We believe our policy will fulfil this need.

"We have made transferring from an existing provider easier and we offer the same rates to customers switching from their existing health provider as we offer to first time customers. Making a claim is even easier. In most circumstances, our customers will simply need to call the Claims Helpline and treatment will be arranged and approved over the telephone - no forms will have to be completed. This makes things so much simpler, and is likely to be especially helpful at a time when you could be under particular stress."
