About XS health

XS health is a ´higher excess´, comprehensive health insurance policy with premiums up to 7 times* less than traditional plans. By paying an excess towards eligible treatment, your healthcare costs are capped to a level you can budget for. There is a choice of 3 excess contributions according to your age - £1,500, £3,000 or £5,000. Premiums are as low as £51.22 per year based on a 30 year old with a £5,000 excess.

Once your total treatment costs exceed your excess, XS health provides unlimited cover for eligible treatment for a full year before you will need to pay another excess. Unlike many excesses, XS health has a ´rolling excess´ - meaning you will not be hit with two large excesses within months and your payments are per policy year not per claim.
