It is basically an agreement between the insurer and the insured, where the insured pays a certain premium monthly or at regular intervals and on the contrary the insurer pays for any kind of medical bills.

There are two types of medical insurances in UK: Private and government. The NHS (National Health Service) is the public face of medical insurance in UK. Though it has done a very good job in meeting the medical needs of the people of UK, quite often the waiting list of patients tend to be very long and far-stretched. This has been a major drawback of NHS. A private medical insurance on the other hand makes your treatment quick and comfortable.

Plans offered by private medical insurance in UK usually comes in two types, Standard or Comprehensive.

•	Under a Standard Plan you will usually be covered for Inpatient and Day-care treatment only.
 
•	Comprehensive Plans adds an extra cover of Outpatient treatment, dental treatment, complementary medicine, maternity, travel and personal accident.

As a general rule, private medical insurance plans do not cover chronic or critical illness which cannot be cured, for example multiple sclerosis, asthma or diabetes.
