Benenden Healthcare members benefit from access to a range of discretionary healthcare services. We complement the NHS by providing our members with access to prompt services and treatment when they need it most – especially when members feel that the wait they face on the NHS is too long.
Amongst our most popular services are:
- GP 24/7 advice line – providing members with access to a UK registered GP whenever they need it
- Treatment and surgery – access to specially selected hospitals throughout the UK, selected for their high levels of cleanliness, hygiene and medical expertise
- Local consultations and tests – access to prompt diagnosis and tests when you need them most.
What’s more, because we are not a private medical insurance company, we do not operate on a premiums basis. So there's no need to worry: your membership costs will not increase when you access our services.
