Given the stress the NHS is under right now we compiled a list of all the Life Insurance, Income Protection and Private Medical Insurance policies that provide free additional health services. We have sent this out to all our clients so they know they have access to them and can use where appropriate rather than first going to the NHS as it works so hard to battle coronavirus.
The general feedback from our clients has been overwhelmingly positive; however, there are far more people out there with these policies who aren’t our clients. That’s why we compiled this page as a resource to share so we can all do our bit to take the pressure off the NHS where we can.
As such please share this guide as appropriate so that anyone with a policy with any of these insurers are aware of the free to use health benefits they have access to and know how to use them.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
If there are any other Life Insurance, Critical Illness or Income Protection providers which offer additional free to use health services that we have missed which could help route health services away from the NHS to bear some of the burden please email us at help@drewberry.co.uk and we will add to this table.
We have done our best to compile this as accurately as possible; however, there may be some legacy policies which DO NOT include these additional services.
The digital online GP services are great for managing everyday health concerns. However, they are NOT designed to cover medical emergencies, situations including, but not limited to: chest pain, severe bleeding, severe difficulty in breathing, moderate to severe burns, convulsions / seizures, head / spinal injuries, serious limb impairment or broken bones. For such emergencies, your first port of call should be your local Accident and Emergency Department or to dial 999.
