What’s not covered on any policy?
- Life events like pregnancy, menopause or ageing.
- Allergies and food intolerances.
- Medical conditions, including diseases, injuries or any other symptoms you had before your policy started
We also call these pre-existing conditions. Your policy usually won’t cover injuries or conditions you had before your cover started.
For example, if you had a knee injury in March, and then took out health cover in June, your new policy wouldn’t cover this injury. You also couldn’t claim for any tests or treatment related to the knee injury. This is because your symptoms began before you had cover. - Ongoing health issues with no known cure,
We also call these chronic conditions. Diabetes and asthma are examples of ongoing health issues with no known cure. Your policy usually won’t cover treatment related to ongoing or chronic issues.
There are some exceptions to these rules that might apply to you. If you have a question about this, it’s worth getting in touch.
Call us on 0808 250 9209
We may record or monitor our phone calls. Lines are open Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm.
What’s not covered on our Treatment and Care policy?
Our Treatment and Care policy also has these three exclusions. These are as well as the exclusions that apply to all policies.
- Outpatient appointments before treatment
These are appointments that a GP or specialist might recommend that you have before you’re diagnosed. You might have these at a hospital, but you wouldn’t need to be admitted for the day or stay overnight. These appointments would help to diagnose what’s wrong with you. - Tests before treatment
These are tests that a GP or specialist might recommend before you’re diagnosed. The tests would help to diagnose what’s wrong with you. - Scans before treatment
These are scans that a GP or specialist might recommend before you’re diagnosed. The scans would help to diagnose what’s wrong with you.
Our Treatment and Care policy is designed for those who are happy to be diagnosed by the NHS. It doesn’t cover appointments, scans or tests that you may need before you are diagnosed. If you’d like to include these, see our Comprehensive health insurance.
Important documents
Check our Comprehensive and Treatment and Care cover summaries for a quick overview of what’s covered in each policy. Or see Policy benefits and terms for full details. Our booklet, Important points about your cover, has examples showing how our cover works.

Getting insurance when you’re self-employed
We’ve put together some FAQs about health insurance when you’re self-employed.
Will I need an excess on my health insurance policy?
Health insurance policies often include an excess. See our guide to understanding how excess works.
There are several benefits of taking out health insurance. If you develop a condition, you’ll have quick access to the treatment you need to help you back on the road to recovery.
Costs for treatments that are covered by your policy will be paid in full, as long as you:
- Use a fee-assured consultant. This means we have agreed to pay their fee in full.
- Get treatment from a hospital in your chosen network.
This could also depend on the terms of your individual policy.
Once you're a member, you can use your policy straight away for any conditions that begin after your policy start date. We may need to ask you some questions to check your policy covers the condition. For example, conditions that you had before your policy began are not covered.
You can also start to use our digital GP service and call our health lines, as soon as you have signed up.
