Medical health insurance

How much should you expect to pay for cover?

The cost of medical health insurance increases dramatically as you get older, with someone in their early 20s paying considerably less than someone in their 50s. We've obtained typical quotes to find out how much you should expect to pay for your cover at different ages.

Although the cost of medical health insurance varies from insurer to insurer, fierce competition means that there isn't much difference in price between similar packages. A simple cash plan will cost as little as £1.25 per week no matter how old you are, but insurance for hospital treatment gets more expensive the older you are.
