Perils of your private medical cover
Article Abstract:
United Kingdom medical insurance (PMI) covers some 6 million people, and it tends to be expensive. Companies may provide PMI for employees who arethen surprised by how much it costs if they leave their jobs and have to pay for it themselves. Tax relief on premiums was available, but was removed in the 1997 Budget. Consumers may seek cheaper insurance but changing an insurer may mean a rise in premiums due to age. There are a number of exclusions that are common with this type of insurance such as diabetes.

Policy on illness to alter, say brokers
Article Abstract:
Improvements in medical technology will eventually reduce the number of life-threatening conditions and thus cut premiums on critical illness policies. In the shorter term, however, the opposite will happen because of higher detection levels. This could soon prompt insurers to make substantial changes to new contracts to stop premiums rising very sharply.
