There are some conditions where it's possible to get direct access to our support usually without the need for an appointment with your GP, helping you get back to good health as quickly as possible.
If you think you might have symptoms relating to cancer you can discuss these over the phone with one of our dedicated advisors, they can help you get over any worry or uncertainty more quickly. Depending on the nature of your symptoms they'll either refer you to a specialist for tests or advise you to contact your GP for further assessment.
If you are advised to see your GP, our advisors will offer to call you back within two weeks to give you further support if needed, helping put your mind at rest.
For support with a bad back, sore knee or any other muscle, bone and joint condition, give us a call.
If your symptoms are covered, we'll arrange for you to have a phone call with a physio-therapist.
You'll be able to discuss your symptoms with them, and they'll either give you a referral straight away or suggest some exercises you can do yourself such as digital home exercise programs to help improve your condition and getting you back to doing the things you love sooner.
If you're suffering with stress, anxiety, or any other mental health concern, we're here to listen.
Our specialist mental health advisors will arrange a telephone appointment with one of our of our mental wellbeing practitioners.
The practitioner will listen to you describe your symptoms and guide you to the most appropriate option to help.
If the symptoms are covered, it is likely to be either telephone counselling, online CBT, or a referral to an approved therapist, to give you the help and care you need to make a full recovery as quickly as possible.
Using direct access will not erode your outpatient benefit limits or require the payments of an excess.
However, if you require further consultations, tests or treatment, following the use of our Direct Access service, these will be treated as a normal claim under your policy for direct access to our support usually without the need to see a GP, please call our member services helpline to check your eligibility.

We cover the bigger issues too, from dental injuries and emergencies worldwide to oral cancer treatment in the UK. Please note, a six-month waiting period applies from the date of joining for oral cancer cover.
