There is no alternative of A&E in UK.nadiag wrote:Sheraz7, thank you so much for your reply, it is much appreciated and very helpful!
What about the 'emergency hospital treatment' cover (things like accidents, Intensive care stay etc)? I have just spoken to Bupa and the consultant said he doesn't think any insurance provider provides cover for emergency treatment, as private hospitals don't have A&E units. Am I right in thinking then, in that case, the emergency cover is not an essential requirement?
Thanks again!!
Remember,HO does not accept cash back health insurance cover.nadiag wrote:Thank you so much!!! That answers that question then That's a relief to know and makes choosing the policy much easier.
Cheers!
The UK would only give free basic treatment on the A&E ward and you need to pay for anything else as a result of your accident or emergency i.e. intensive care, stay on any ward, operation, follow on treatment etc.nadiag wrote:Sheraz7, thank you so much for your reply, it is much appreciated and very helpful!

The UK's national health system is what is used in the UK that's why there are not many private hospitals are some private wings in the NHS hospitals.Imshzd wrote: There is no alternative of A&E in UK.
This doesn't mean a person won't get billed if they have an accident or emergency if they are a person who is not allowed to use the NHS for free. Everything off the A&E ward will be billed; operation - billed; stay on ward = billed; stitches = free as done on A&E ward.Imshzd wrote:All emergency cases goes to NHS A&E.
If it they want more than the basic patch up treatment given on A&E ward where the patient is treated and then they leave, then they have to pay.Imshzd wrote:No private hospital details emergency cases.
