The AXA six week option
AXA PPP Healthcare have recently been advertising on the television and on the Tube, amongst other places, its six week option; for a lesser price than insurance which will treat you privately immediately, you are seen by a private physician if the NHS can’t see you within six weeks. I’m not precisely sure on what the limitations are - I think it only applies to surgery and inpatient work - but they raise a question that I hope Chris Dillow, being someone who is much better at computation than I am, will answer.
Private healthcare is, I believe, seen as being expensive; people would like to have it, particularly as the NHS is getting poor coverage (unfairly, IMHO) at the moment in the media. AXA is looking to offer a cut-price version of its full private healthcare insurance package, and the time limit it chooses is six weeks. I don’t have quotes to hand, but I think I’m right in saying that it suggests that a significant number of procedures are conducted within six weeks, enough to make six weeks the cut-off date.
Opinions?
xD.
