Why Use a Health Insurance Broker?
Using a broker removes the guesswork and streamlines the process of choosing health insurance. Here’s how they help:
✔ Expert Guidance – Brokers help you compare plans, understand cover levels, and avoid hidden exclusions.
✔ Whole of Market Access – Instead of limiting you to one insurer, brokers compare options across the market.
✔ Competitive Pricing – A broker can help you secure the best deal without compromising on quality.
✔ Ongoing Support – Need to update your policy or make a claim? Your broker is on hand to assist.
Brokers work for you—not the insurer—so their advice is based on what suits you, not what benefits the provider.
A health insurance broker acts as your independent advisor and liaison with insurers. Here’s what the process typically looks like:
- Understand Your Needs – Whether you’re an individual, family, or employer, the broker will assess your specific requirements.
- Compare Providers – They research and shortlist the best options from leading UK health insurance companies.
- Explain the Cover – From outpatient care and diagnostics to mental health and chronic condition support, they help you understand exactly what’s included.
- Tailor the Policy – Your broker will recommend the most suitable plan based on your budget and preferences.
- Support You Long-Term – They assist with policy management, renewals, claims, and future adjustments as your needs change.
What to Look for in a Health Insurance Broker
Choosing the right broker is just as important as choosing the right policy. Here’s what to look for:
✔ FCA Authorisation – Your broker should be fully regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, offering you peace of mind.
✔ Industry Experience – Look for brokers with a proven track record in private medical insurance.
✔ Wide Product Range – The best brokers offer access to a variety of policies for individuals, families, and businesses.
✔ Clear, Jargon-Free Advice – You should feel informed, not overwhelmed.
✔ Specialist Knowledge – Some brokers provide tailored support for areas like cancer treatment, chronic condition management, or mental health services.
If you’re a business owner, working with a health insurance broker is the easiest way to introduce or improve employee health benefits. Here’s how they help:
✔ Tailored Business Plans – From small businesses to large teams, brokers help design cover that suits your workforce.
✔ Cost Management – Brokers ensure you get the most value for your budget.
✔ Inclusive Benefits – Policies often include virtual GP services, mental health care, and fast-track specialist access.
✔ Ongoing Administration – Your broker manages renewals, queries, and any claims support you or your team may need.
Providing health insurance boosts employee wellbeing, reduces absenteeism, and strengthens your company’s reputation as an employer of choice.
