How we work out your health insurance renewal premium
Our renewal prices are clear and easy to understand
Want to know how we work out your renewal price? It’s simple. We use our unique A,B,C formula:
A for Age
Like all insurers, your price goes up slightly with every year you age. Because the older you get, the more likely you are to claim.
B for Base inflation of medical costs
Treatment, drug and hospital costs rise every year for every insurer. So our prices also take into account how much those costs go up.
C for Claims.
We adjust your price based on the claims you’ve made. How much we adjust it also depends on how much you look after your health*
*Claims made under the Worldwide Travel Cover and Optical, Dental and Hearing Cover are based on the total claims made by all members with this cover option.
How healthy habits can help lower your renewal price
When you look after your health, we think it's right to reward you. So, the higher your Vitality status, the lower your renewal price increase, whether you make a claim or not.
With us, you earn Vitality points for doing healthy things, like having a yearly health check and tracking your daily activity - walking, running, cycling, swimming or going to the gym.
The more points you earn, the higher your Vitality status. And the higher your Vitality status, the bigger the rewards and the lower your premium can be.
Here's how many points are needed for each status:
| Status | Points needed (Single plan) | Points needed (Joint plan) |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 0 | 0 |
| Silver | 800 | 1,200 |
| Gold | 1,600 | 2,400 |
| Platinum | 2,400 | 3,600 |
