A stellar year for the Moneyfacts Private Medical Insurance Star Ratings 2022

Moneyfacts is pleased to announce the Moneyfacts Annual Star Ratings 2022 for Private Medical Insurance.

  • The number of private medical insurance products achieving a Five-Star rating has fallen slightly by one, with the same fall for the number of Four-Star products.
  • Over 80 fields of information per product were collected for assessment.
  • Between 2021 and 2022 the size of the market has fallen by 4%.

The products awarded Five or Four-Star Ratings offer the most comprehensive range of standout features and competitive charges, which set them apart from the rest of the market.

The instantly recognisable Moneyfacts badge of quality has for over 30 years helped inform consumers comparing private medical insurance. About nine out of 10 people agree that a Star Rating from an independent and impartial company could influence their decision in considering taking out a Financial Services product.* (*Source: Moneyfacts Group plc, Financial Services online consumer survey 4/21).

Lee Tillcock, Editor of Investment Life & Pensions Moneyfacts, said:

“The demand for quality, yet affordable, treatment options continues to grow and we are all aware of the pressures currently being placed upon the NHS. Set against this backdrop, the need for private medical insurance (PMI) has arguably never been greater. While a number of innovations and a greater range of additional benefits have made PMI a more compelling product, they have also made it arguably more complex. The Moneyfacts Private Medical Insurance Star Ratings help customers direct their focus and make an informed decision, by highlighting the most comprehensive products on the market.”
