SAGA — Doing things properly

Saga HealthPlan Support is our latest policy that will make private medical insurance possible for many more people. It keeps premiums as low as possible by focusing on hospital treatment, so you can be sure that you will receive prompt admission as an in–patient. As well as avoiding NHS waits, you can choose to go into a private hospital where you are likely to receive a private, en suite room and many of the other advantages associated with receiving treatment privately.

The plan includes:

• A straightforward hospital in–patient and day–patient policy
• Prompt access to private treatment
• A choice of private hospitals
• Saga health information line

To make Saga Health Plan Support even more affordable it covers only the surgery aspects of cancer treatment. All other aspects, including chemotherapy, would need to be treated on the NHS
