Company Overview

Health-on-Line was founded in 2000. Since 2005, the online health insurance provider has been backed by AXA PPP Healthcare, which is one of the UK’s leading health insurers. With over 75 years of experience of helping people look after their health, AXA PPP has been around longer than the NHS.

Health-on-Line produces simple ‘modular’ products, which include a basic ‘core’ cover and a list of additional options you can add to make your cover more comprehensive. These additional options include cancer cover, diagnostics cover and an additional hospitals list.

In 2015, Health-on-Line paid almost £1 billion in healthcare benefits and, in 2016, it was awarded Gold Trusted Merchant Status from online Review site Feefo.

Drewberry Reviews Health Insurance from Health-on-Line

Health-on-Line allows you to add on an optional benefit to cover routine dental and optical treatment, similar to a Health Cash Plan.

Key Comparison Points

For any muscle, bone or joint pain, you can speak with a physiotherapist over the phone without having to speak with a GP first. This is one of many additional benefits Core Cover offers.

Health-on-line Insurance: Questions and Answers

At Drewberry, we have made it our missions to know all of the ins and outs of these policies, putting us in the best position to help you find the right policy.

Below, we have put together some of the top Health Insurance FAQs and given our answers. If you need our help finding the best policy or would just like to know more, contact us today on 02074425880.

Q. How does NHS Cancer Support work in Health-on-Line’s Private Medical Insurance?

A. With NHS Cancer Support, you aren’t entitled to cancer treatment paid for by your Health Insurance plan. Given the expense of cancer treatment, deciding on this approach is a key way to reduce the cost of your policy. If you are unfortunately diagnosed with cancer, you’ll need to have all treatment on the NHS. The exception is if your cancer might benefit from a licensed cancer drug not available on the NHS at that time; in such a case, Health-on-Line will offer to pay for this treatment.


Q. What is the Health at Hand medical helpline?

A. With Health-on-Line PMI, you get access to AXA PPP’s Health at Hand helpline. This provides access to a wide array of medical professionals to answer your health queries, from nurses and midwives to counsellors and pharmacists. The line is open 24 hours a day and offers medical information and support as well as the latest information about medicines and illnesses.
