Services
Health Insurance
Health insurance provides financial protection for private medical treatment, covering acute conditions requiring diagnosis or intervention. It enables faster access to consultants, hospital choices, and private rooms, complementing NHS services. Our comparison tool helps clients find policies tailored to individual or family needs, including outpatient care and specialist treatments.
Income Protection
Income protection insurance replaces 50-70% of lost income due to illness, injury, or redundancy. We offer short-term and long-term policies with flexible deferred periods, ensuring financial stability for mortgage payments, bills, and family needs during work absences.
Life Insurance
Life insurance provides tax-free lump sums to beneficiaries upon policyholder death. We compare term, whole-of-life, and decreasing policies to cover mortgages, debts, and family financial needs, with optional critical illness coverage for comprehensive protection.
Critical Illness Cover
Critical illness cover provides lump sum payments for specified severe conditions like cancer or heart disease. We offer standalone policies or add-ons to life insurance, ensuring financial support for treatment and lifestyle adjustments while maintaining existing coverage terms.
Private Medical Insurance
Private medical insurance covers private healthcare treatment costs, reducing NHS waiting times. Our comparison service includes options for inpatient, outpatient, and day-patient care, with customizable coverage for physiotherapy, mental health, and specialist diagnostics across UK hospitals.

Massive shout out to Tom Hoskins, who has been extremely helpful with my experience shopping around for health insurance. Tom called within minutes of me filling out a confused.com comparison quote request and was very helpful in taking me through the levels of cover and different options of providers I had. Can't recommend enough, and it's unbelievable this impartial service is free! Once again, thanks Tom!

Got my insurance set with Mike. Cannot fault him he was ever so helpful and did not push in any direction other than provide advice and give me time and let me decide what to do. I have never spoken to such a salesman so nice worried in us getting the right service rather than make a sale. Will definitely use them again!

I've started receiving calls twice a day, and regular emails, even though I never opted in for any communication. All I did was checking quotes on Moneysupermarket. I tried to opt-out, but they are still calling me twice a day. I'll file a GDPR complaint if they continue.
