BHCA,
the trade body for the majority of health cash plans and associated plans
recommends the following.
Go
for a not for profit company
All BHCA memebers are not for profit health care providers. This means that
any surpluses are reinvested for the benefit of members.
Choose
a Company with Heritage
Most BHCA member organisations are older than the NHS itself and have a wealth
of experience in health care. They are regularly updating their products ans
benefits to reflect changes in provision for both the NHS and the needs of the
contributors.
Check

Most plans include cash benefits towards hospital in-patient treatment, specialist
consultations, routine optical and dental treatment, physiotherapy, complementary
medicine and maternity amongst others.
Some offer more specialised benefits which may be tailored towards your particular
needs such as benefits for illness at home, aftercare and home help.
