WPA - 1XS

1XS is a comprehensive health insurance policy designed with a very low premium and one single excess for the whole family.

The problem with other health plans that offer excesses is that the excess is often per person per claim. With 1XS, you know exactly where you stand. No matter how many people you cover and however frequently they claim, your maximum excess payment in any 12 months cannot exceed £1,500. You get quality health cover without the high price tag.

The excess works on a ´rolling´ basis which means that once treatment costs exceed your excess limit within a 12 month period, WPA will cover the cost in full for all eligible treatment for a further 12 months. So in effect, you get a year´s ´excess holiday´.

1XS is available to new applicants between 0 - 55 years.
