What is Freedom Essentials?

The Freedom Essentials private medical insurance plan has been created to give you full control of your healthcare while keeping your premium affordable. Whether you are looking for an individual policy just for you or you want to cover your whole family, the Freedom Essentials plan allows you to get treated in any hospital, anywhere in the world.

Fixed cash benefit

With Freedom Essentials you receive a fixed cash benefit with no annual limit for eligible inpatient and day-patient treatment which you can then use to get treated privately in the UK or abroad as a self-pay patient.

If you decide to use the NHS for your treatment, you will still receive 50% of the cash benefit to spend however you want.

Cancer Cash Benefit

We believe the NHS provides excellent treatment for cancer, so in order to keep our prices down, we don’t include traditional cancer cover in our Freedom Essentials plan.

Nevertheless, we understand the impact cancer can have on someone’s life and we know that a little support can really help. That’s why Freedom Essentials offers a fixed cash benefit as part of a course of active cancer treatment for medical procedures and chemotherapy or radiotherapy which you can use towards the cost of private treatment or to perhaps offset some of the other expenses you might face during this time.
