Cover designed around later life
Senior Health Insurance is private medical cover tailored to the needs and circumstances of older policyholders – typically those aged 50 and over. As with any Individual Health Insurance policy, it gives you access to private diagnosis and treatment, helping you avoid lengthy NHS waiting times for the things that matter most as you get older.
Insurers assess applications differently depending on age and medical history, so it’s especially worth having cover compared and explained by someone independent, rather than assuming one insurer’s approach applies across the board.
Whether you’re coming off a workplace scheme at retirement, or looking for cover for the first time, we’ll help you understand your options clearly.

How we find your best price
Insurers price and underwrite senior applicants differently, and the right fit depends heavily on your individual medical history and priorities – so a generic figure wouldn’t reflect your circumstances.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an age limit for Health Insurance?
Most insurers on our panel don’t apply an upper age limit, though premiums and underwriting terms vary. We’ll talk you through which insurers suit your circumstances best.
What happens to pre-existing conditions?
This depends on the underwriting type. Full medical underwriting may exclude named conditions from the outset; moratorium underwriting can potentially bring some previous conditions into cover after a symptom-free period. We’ll explain both clearly for your situation.
I'm retiring and losing my workplace health cover — what are my options?
This is one of the most common reasons people come to us. We’ll help you find a personal policy that continues your cover with as little disruption as possible.
Will my premium rise significantly as I get older?
Premiums for everyone tend to increase with age and claims history across the industry — which is exactly why we recommend comparing the market at renewal rather than accepting an automatic renewal quote.
How much does this cost me?
Nothing — our comparison and advice service is completely free and independent. We’re paid by the insurer once you take out a policy, not by you.
