Aviva - Signature (and 6)

No longer available to new business customers

Signature is available to anyone who lives in Scotland or Northern Ireland. It provides full and comprehensive cover for eligible in-patient, day-patient and out-patient treatment, and by excluding English hospitals from the directory, residents of Scotland or Northern Ireland can enjoy comprehensive cover at a competitive price. It also offers a number of extra benefits such as home nursing, Stress Counselling Helpline, Personal Health Manager and emergency cover overseas.

Signature 6 offers a similar level of cover for a lower premium. In return, you agree to accept NHS in-patient or day-patient treatment as a non-paying patient if the NHS waiting list is six weeks or less. If there's an NHS delay of more than six weeks for the operation or treatment you need as an in-patient or day-patient there is cover for access to any of of the hospitals on our Signature Hospital List.

While the '6 week' option allows us to keep the premiums for Signature 6 extremely low, this product has major advantages over other apparently similar ones - it covers you for private consultations, diagnosis and treatment as an out-patient, whether or not a hospital stay is eventually required.
