Reino Unido
Whether you're moving to the UK as an international student, worker, or retiree, safeguard yourself and your loved ones with private health insurance.

Whether you need surgery as an inpatient at a UK hospital, or to attend as a day patient, get peace of mind with cover for many charges at hospitals in the United Kingdom and across the globe.
In many cases we can pay a UK hospital directly on your behalf, so you don’t have to pay money yourself and then claim it back. Direct billing to your care provider helps to make things simpler for you, so you can focus on your recovery.

From London to the Scottish Lochs, there are many reasons to move to the UK. You may be studying at a respected university, taking up a role in the thriving tech sector, or retiring to the Cornish coast.
The United Kingdom has its own public healthcare system, known as the National Health Service, or NHS. It provides free healthcare services to UK residents. This extends to some people living in the UK from overseas, though the rules differ depending on whether you’re:
Public healthcare is devolved in the UK, so the rules around NHS access for people from abroad differ between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

If you’ve recently moved to the United Kingdom and fall ill or are injured in an emergency, you can access free treatment in Accident and Emergency (A&E) departments at UK hospitals. Head to your nearest hospital or call 999 for an ambulance. You can also see a GP without being charged.
To access non-emergency hospital treatment as an outpatient or inpatient, however, you must have ‘ordinarily resident’ status If you do not have ordinarily resident status, you’ll be classed as an overseas visitor and may be charged.
You may be able to reclaim treatment costs on your private health insurance in the United Kingdom, depending on the treatment you receive and policy terms.
In recent years, however, the UK has experienced more extreme weather events. Sudden heatwaves, storms, high winds and flooding are not uncommon.
If you’re concerned about the UK climate’s potential impact on your health, sign up to receive weather warnings from the Met Office, the national meteorological service. Taking our private medical insurance could also offer added peace of mind.
Cigna international medical insurance comes in three levels – Silver, Gold or Platinum. So, the exact cost of your insurance will depend on which you choose. Also, if you add any optional cover to your policy, your monthly premium may increase. The cost of paying monthly might also be slightly different to quarterly or annual billing.
Yes. If you’re travelling to the UK from another country, it is generally worth taking out private health insurance. Access to the NHS for people from abroad is dependent on the person’s individual status. In some cases, private medical insurance can complement NHS care. In others, official UK guidance considers it essential.
Yes, if you’re in the UK from overseas permanently or for a set period, it can be worth investing in private healthcare. Whether you’re studying, working or starting your retirement, accessing NHS services can be complex and come with charges. Investing in private health insurance ensures you have peace of mind should you suffer an injury or become ill and need hospital treatment.
Depending on location, facilities and other factors, the resources the NHS has available may not always meet the demands of those needing them. For example, the waiting list for treatment at hospitals in England has been rising steadily over the past decade. According to UK government statistics it went from around 3.5m people to 7.8m in September 2023.
