Private Health Cash Plans

Private health cash plans help cover the cost of everyday healthcare expenses. Unlike private medical insurance (PMI), which pays for major treatments like surgeries or specialist consultations, cash plans reimburse you for routine healthcare costs. You typically pay a monthly or annual premium; in return, you can claim back a portion (or all) of the costs for eligible treatments. These plans are often used by individuals looking for extra financial support with routine health expenses or by employers as an employee benefit. Nutritional Therapy consultations are one of the recognised therapies.
