CEGA will continue to provide its global assistance services to clients of Western Provident Association, (WPA) for a further two years.
WPA has launched a multi-family private medical insurance (PMI) plan enabling policyholders to cover extended family members which may be particularly attractive to baby-boomers financially helping out their children and grandchildren.
Are private medical schemes paying too much to cover too few and could tiered benefits provide a solution, asks WPA's Ellis Turley.
Competition Commission statistics - as part of its private healthcare market investigation - have shown consultants do not reference insurer guidelines when making patient fee levels.
The PMI concerns raised in BBC1's Watchdog last night were all about choice and cost control, WPA has said.
