WHY CHOOSE US?

HOSPITAL OPTIONS TO SUIT YOU
We have one of the largest selections of hospitals and medical facilities compared to any UK health insurer.
We have an extensive list of facilities which we call our Participating Hospitals. The cost of treatment between different facilities can vary enormously, so we have grouped our Participating Hospitals to give you three levels of choice: First Choice, Freedom or Premium.
This means we reflect the lower cost of treatment at certain facilities, by reducing premiums according to the hospitals chosen. Many Participating Hospitals have specific know how when dealing with sports injuries, with experienced physiotherapists and facilities for specialist treatments such as hydrotherapy.
General & Medical endeavour to make all published material correct at time of publication.
SPORTS RISK CATEGORIES
The type of sport you choose to participate in will affect your premium. Factors such as the levels of contact involved or number of team members influence the risk, so we use our risk rating system to help us price fairly for any given sport.
- Category 1 - Lower risk such as Golf or Jogging
- Category 2 - Including Dance and Hockey
- Category 3 - Including Boxing and Wrestling
- Category 4 - Higher risk such as Skydiving
