The Exeter Health Insurance Review
- Healthwise – As a member of The Exeter, you and your family will have access to HealthWise, our member benefits service.
HealthWise is designed to help keep you healthy and happy every day. It offers quick and convenient medical advice as well as treatments that can be accessed from anywhere in the world through our HealthWise app on either a smartphone or tablet.
What’s more, HealthWise can be used without the need to claim on your policy meaning it won’t affect your premiums or any No Claims Discount. - Discounts for families – they can add their partner or children for a reduced price, making cover more affordable.
- The Exeter don’t think anyone should ever be in two minds about claiming, so they take a tiered approach to the No Claims Discount which keeps it fairer for everyone. This means that you are moved up or down the NCD scale at renewal depending on the value of your claims, and for claims under £300 you won’t move down any levels – with The Exeter you can also protect your NCD or remove it completely (non-switchers only), providing a range of options to suit your needs.
- The Exeter are one of the few providers that offer a community rated option as an alternative to the traditional No Claims Discount. This premium structure where future premiums reflect the claims made by a wider pool of customers, not individual claims made only by members under this policy.
- Well priced against the other main providers on the market.
- When limiting your outpatient cover with The Exeter to reduce the premium, this will also limit some outpatient scans and tests, whereas other providers like AXA PPP, Health-on-Line and Vitality will cover these in full with a limited outpatient option.
