Can I choose where I am treated/my private hospitals?

There are three different options you can choose: Essential, Countrywide and Extended Hospital Lists. Essential lists tend to help lower your premium and covers you to stay in NHS private patient units along with your local private hospitals. The Countrywide list extends the coverage of the Essential list, giving you access to private hospitals and clinics. The Extended list gives you access to the widest access including London private hospitals.

What is the difference between the NHS and Private Health Insurance?

As a nation we are fortunate to have a publicly funded health service, giving everyone access to treatment at little to no cost. Due to increasing pressure on the NHS, many people now face long waiting lists and delayed or cancelled treatment. Whilst receiving private treatment you will not face long waiting lists for treatment, in fact you are likely to be seen within a week or so. Health Insurance offers you access to a choice of hospitals and treatment times that suit you, with overnight stays often being in a private room. More on the NHS and Private Medical Insurance here.

Can I get cover for cancer treatment should I be diagnosed?

Health Insurance gives you access to the latest cancer treatment, as well as medication and procedures that don’t tend to be obtainable on the NHS. Private cancer care is intended to make your treatment as comfortable as possible by making chemotherapy at home an option, along with home nursing.

Can I get cover for my pre-existing condition?

Long NHS waiting lists and cancelled or delayed procedures are a common motivation for initial enquiries into Health Insurance. Depending on the condition, it is unlikely it will be covered on your plan. Although, if you have a pre-existing condition speak to one of our expert advisors as different underwriting options may suit your needs.

Ardonagh Give Back Day 2024

Thursday 5th September marked International Charity Day and the team at Usay Compare were proud to get involved with, The Ardonagh Group's Give Back Day.

This day was an opportunity for all of our colleagues at our offices across the UK to raise money for the group charity, along with other organisations within The Ardonagh Group.

The task was simple, each employee completes at least a mile on 5th September, and the Ardonagh Community Trust (ACT) donates £5 to their dedicated charity partner Medecins Sans Frontieres. The charity is a non-governmental organisation known for its projects in conflict zones and in countries affected by endemic diseases.

Our team got involved both at home and in the office by walking/running and taking team walks throughout the day. There were plenty of fundraising opportunities and Radio Ardonagh hosted a live Give Back show. It was fantastic to see so many get involved, have fun and raise money. We're passionate about our involvement in supporting charities to provide healthcare to wider communities.

We’re pleased to announce that overall, The Ardonagh Group raised £117,000 for MSF, surpassing the group goal of £100,000.

Take a look at some of our team getting involved below!
