What is health insurance for couples?

If you and your partner are looking at ways to ensure you can get fast access to healthcare, purchasing a joint health insurance policy can be a great option. With our Personal Health plan, there's a wide range of inpatient and day patient cover, and you can then pick and choose cover options to meet your individual needs and budget. You also have the option to add your partner to your plan.

What are the core benefits of our private health insurance plan, Personal Health?

When life throws you an unexpected challenge, fast access to diagnosis and treatment are what matter most, along with genuine help, support and understanding from people who care. Here’s a summary of everything that comes with our couples health insurance.

Does AXA Health offer a joint health insurance plan?


Although we don't offer a specific plan for couples, you do have the option to add your partner, or your dependents, to your plan.

Our healthcare plans offer quick access to eligible treatment at over 250 private hospitals in the UK, as well as the support you need to live life well. You can call our 24/7 health support line to speak to a nurse or counsellor, or have a phone appointment with a physiotherapist for support with muscle, bone or joint concerns (service available to members aged 18 and over).

On top of this core cover, you can choose from a range of cover options, to create the perfect combination of cover for you and your partner.

  • Full Outpatient - Cover for unlimited specialist consultations, diagnostic tests and practitioner charges when a specialist refers you.
  • Standard Outpatient option - cover for up to three specialist consultations and no yearly limit on diagnostic tests on specialist referral
  • Extended Cover option - giving you more choice of UK hospitals and specialists, as well as cover for planned pre-approved treatment overseas.
  • Mental Health option - cover for psychiatric treatment (option available subject to medical history.)
  • Dentist and Optician Cashback option - claim cash back towards routine dentist and optician fees.
  • Travel cover - cover for emergency medical expenses abroad and travel-related hassles like lost passports.
  • Therapies - cover for outpatient treatment by physiotherapists, acupuncturists, osteopaths and chiropractors.
