Things to consider

The premiums on a medical insurance policy tend to increase with age and with any existing medical conditions, so it’s important to declare your full medical history when getting a quote to ensure your insurance is valid and you are fully covered.

Many policies also charge an excess - the portion of any insurance claim you must pay yourself. Before buying cover, find out exactly what benefits the policy you are interested in will pay out for.
