First Healthcare for children - 17/06/2008

AXA PPP healthcare has introduced a private health insurance plan, exclusively for children. ‘First Healthcare’ has been designed to offer reassurance to parents at an affordable price of £9.99 a month.
The plan covers early access to consultations with an experienced specialist as well as out-patient tests and scans to establish diagnosis. Also if hospital treatment is required as an in-patient or a day-patient, First Healthcare pays for private treatment straight away provided the NHS cannot see the child within six weeks of when treatment should take place. This arrangement, which allows the NHS to take care of urgently needed treatment while avoiding delays, helps keep premiums low.
Additional features of the policy, includes the cover for cost of parent accommodation, if they need to stay overnight, with a child under 11 in hospital and telephone access 24 hours a day, to a qualified and experienced team of healthcare professionals all year round.
Geoff Salter, AXA PPP healthcare head of product management, said: “First Healthcare is for people who may not be able to afford private healthcare cover for their whole family but who want to make sure their children are covered. It will give parents peace of mind knowing that their children can be seen promptly as a private patient.”
