The consultants who care for you are required to have a post graduate qualification. These measures mean you can rely on the quality of treatment our hospitals provide. All hospital and associated medical costs are dealt with directly by Simplyhealth. You should never receive a bill for treatment. The only bills you will see are for incidentals such as any personal telephone calls you may make during your stay in hospital.
Members can claim for treatment as many times as required.
Unlike a lot of other companies offering Private Medical Insurance, Simplyhealth DO treat pre-existing disorders following two years of continuous membership. Confirmation from the referring doctor may be sought on occasion. If you reach the age of 65 and have been a member of InterMutual Healthcare for a period of 5 years or more you can continue your membership into retirement for as long as you continue to pay your premiums. However, if you reach the age of 65 and you have been a member of InterMutual Healthcare for less than 5 years your membership will expire. Unlike commercial financial institutions, friendly societies are accountable not to shareholders but to their members.
