Health Cash Product Profiles 2006 Offers a Profile of Every Known Health Cash Product in the UK Health Cash Market From a Customer Perspective

Posted on: Monday, 3 April 2006, 12:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c35081) has announced the addition of Health Cash Product Profiles 2006 to their offering.

Health cash is no longer the plain little sister of private medical insurance. There are now a range of products with many new ideas or revamps in recent months. Health cash has led the way into alternative and preventative medicine.

As well as traditional individual family and corporate covers, the market has expanded into special risks, over 60s, small business and other areas that many people still think are alien to health cash.

For the last 7 years the author has produced annual reports on the health cash market.

This new report profiles every known health cash product - OVER 100 PRODUCTS

This was an enormous task. You may attempt to do it in house, but making sense of what's out there and writing it all up in a sensible format, takes a lot of time.

Some underwriters will inevitably gripe that their favourite extension or exclusion is not covered. If the author had attempted to include every exclusion, condition, limit and so on it would have been an impossible task. So if in the profile of your product they have not mentioned the "cover extends to grannies in any month with 30 days, unless the 30th falls on a Saturday, and it is raining in Harrogate at the time" then they apologise in advance.

The profiles are analysed in a way that customers and brokers would look at and compare products.

As a broker, back in pre computer times, the author was one of the originators of product profiling.
