At Standard Life we have developed strong partnerships with leading private hospitals and NHS private patient units to ensure your employees receive prompt access to treatment with the privacy, comfort and individual care they'd expect. The private hospitals include:
Our different hospital lists allow companies to tailor their medical insurance with a choice of hospital networks.
The Countrywide hospital list offers hospitals across the length and breadth of the country and includes well-known hospital groups such as Spire (previously known as BUPA), BMI, Ramsay Healthcare (previously known as Capio) and Nuffield, as well as every NHS private patient unit (PPU) throughout the UK. The majority offer a single room with en-suite facilities, a choice of menus and flexible visiting times. Find out more

Standard Life has developed the Guided Option hospital list in partnership with leading private hospital networks. Choosing the Guided Option hospital list will save you 15% off your premium, while still giving full comprehensive medical cover.
Once an employee's GP decides they need to see a consultant, instead of referring them to a specific consultant, they'll need to ask for an 'open referral'. This means we'll refer them to their local Guided Option authorised hospital.
The hospital will then make all the arrangements for treatment including choosing the consultant. By doing this, the hospital makes better use of their resources and so can charge less. Standard Life then pass this saving on to employers as a 15% discount for choosing the Guided Option hospital list. Find out more

Regardless of the hospital list you select, if your plan includes Psychiatric Treatment cover, you can also be treated at any of the dedicated psychiatric hospitals.
