Choosing Health Insurance: our top 10 tips

 People usually look for a new health insurance plan for one of the following reasons: 

• You may have just left a company health scheme 
• Looking to switch from your current provider 
• Just started to look for a new policy for the first time 

The rationale is typically to reduce costs or to give you peace of mind that should you become ill or have an accident that you feel confident that you will receive the best treatment without having to wait.
