Answer the two optional questions below to narrow this down.
Optional: narrow this down
Who picks your consultant and hospital?
How much would you pay towards a claim?
Why is the range so wide?

Insurers price the same person very differently. Some rate your postcode heavily, one on our panel ignores it completely. Good-health discounts run from nothing to 15%, and each takes its own view on your medical history. Two people with identical details can be hundreds of pounds a year apart depending purely on who they applied to. That is why the only way to know your exact figure is a personalised quote, which takes a minute and costs nothing.

How this guide price is calculated

SmartQuote is Compare My Health Insurance's own 2026 guide price model. It is calibrated at individual insurer level against independent UK market research covering over 11,000 quotes from seven insurers, gathered in March 2026, and validated against live insurer quotations. Prices are interpolated by exact age between market anchor points at ages 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70, then adjusted for region and nicotine use. The range spans the most competitive insurer on a guided consultant list at the lower end, through to the most expensive insurer with your own choice of consultant at the upper end. Figures above age 70 are extrapolated, as the source research stops at that age.

Assumptions: a single adult taking out cover for the first time, moratorium underwriting, £250 excess. Your own premium depends on your postcode, chosen excess, insurer, medical history and level of cover. A guide price is not a quotation and does not constitute advice.

Last reviewed July 2026, next scheduled review January 2027. Compare My Health Insurance is a comparison service operated by CMHI Ltd, ICO registration ZC140435, working with FCA regulated partners. Read the full cost methodology.
