Presenter: It's natural to want to make life a little more predictable - a secure home, savings for a rainy day, a pension. They all help planning for your family's future. But without good health, all the best-laid plans could come to nothing.
Standard Life tackles the unpredictability of life somewhat differently. By making a few things more certain for a start. Taking out one of our private health insurance plans helps make sure help is at hand just in case you or your family needs it.
Our health insurance plans mean you can get the treatment you need quickly. With Standard Life there'll be no surprises on the money front either. When we say "Full cover" we mean just that.
David: Having private health insurance with Standard Life Healthcare has meant I was seen by a consultant and started receiving my treatment really quickly. Without it I might have waited months for my treatment. I also have access to private hospitals that normally I wouldn't be able to afford.
Margaret: Well it's definitely given us more choices. If we want to, we can be free to choose the specialist we want to be treated by - and we can choose where to be treated from a wide range of private hospitals.
Our daughter and her family live close to this private hospital; that's why we chose to have David's treatment here, rather than at a hospital nearer to our own home, it's really helped me being able to stay with our daughter.
David: It really is easy for them to visit me here. Oh having them close by is also helping with my recovery.
I really like the fact that I can recuperate in my own private room. Rather than on a ward with lots of patients. Oh I've been in that situation before, and it was terrible. Knowing the level of care that private health insurance offers me really gives me peace of mind.
Presenter: Standard Life Healthcare private health insurance provides you and your family with the peace of mind and reassurance that quick answers, rapid access to treatment and importantly, comfortable, well-appointed hospitals are available when you need them.
As a Standard Life Healthcare customer all claims are assessed against the terms & conditions of the chosen product and any individual exclusions placed on your plan.
Special thanks to all the staff at the New Hall Private Hospital, Salisbury.
