Aviva Healthier Solutions

Modular PMI from a household-name UK insurer

Aviva's Healthier Solutions plan is one of the most widely sold private medical insurance products in the UK broker market. It uses a modular structure — brokers and clients choose the core cover, then layer in optional extras like therapies, mental health, dental and optical. Aviva is known for its flexibility on underwriting, its Digital GP service, and a well-defined six-week NHS option that can meaningfully reduce premium.

Watchouts
