Insured patients

As a GP by encouraging and/or reminding patients to use their private medical insurance, you can save the NHS a significant amount of money and help make the most of NHS resources.

Did you know...

• 15-25% of the population in Mid Essex are likely to have health insurance or have the ability to fund their own treatment.
  
  
• By reminding your patients to use their health insurance you can help:
  • Relieve pressure of demand on the NHS.
  • Reduce patient waiting lists.
  • Save your practice money.
  • Help your patient receive treatment sooner.
    
    
• Some of the reasons that a patient does not use their health insurance are because:
  • They forget they have it.
  • They don’t think they will be covered.
  • They remember half way through their NHS pathway.
  • Their GP does not offer the option to choose.
