Premiums, payments and cashback

How do you work out my health insurance renewal premium?

We calculate your renewal premiums by taking into account your age, the base medical inflation rate and any claims you’ve made. We also look at your Vitality status. We call this ABC and any increase in your renewal premium will be the sum of these. You can find out how to keep your premiums low here.

How can I get discounted life insurance premiums?

Depending on your age, you could get up to 50% discount on your life insurance premiums by adding the Wellness Optimiser option. 

As a health or life member, you can update your payment details in your Member Zone. You can also view your monthly Direct Debit payments for Apple Watch and/or Amazon Prime there.
