We know that health insurance can be confusing, especially if you’ve not used it before.
These guides help you with the different words you may come across, and answer some common questions about how health insurance works.
These guides are for members who set up their own health insurance, or are part of a company scheme with fewer than 250 members. If you’re part of a large company scheme, with more than 250 members, please log in to your online account. |
We can’t answer all questions here, and your plan may be set up differently. And not all of these guides will be
relevant to you. Please always check your own handbook.
