Would cover pay the £16,559?

At £16,559 this is the kind of bill cover exists for — but only cover bought before the problem. The knee replacement you already need at Cardiff is pre-existing and excluded, so a policy taken out now would not pay it. Comparing UK cover · brokers · UK insurers

Would you rather a bill like £16,559 were someone else’s problem? Private medical insurance covers treatment like this in full — as long as you are covered before symptoms start. Get a free quote now: it takes a minute and there is no obligation.
