Private Medical Insurance

A long NHS wait for a scan or a specialist is a long time out of training — or a long time worrying. DCS Insure introduces and arranges private medical insurance for athletes and tradespeople whose income depends on getting back on their feet quickly, and for anyone who'd simply rather not wait.

What this cover is for

Access to private diagnosis and treatment

Private medical insurance gives access to private diagnosis and treatment for eligible acute conditions, subject to the policy's terms and exclusions. The value is usually speed — an MRI in days rather than months, a specialist appointment that doesn't sit on a waiting list — whether that's about getting back to playing, back to work, or just back to normal for your family.

Which level of cover, if any, suits your circumstances is a conversation — we introduce and arrange, we don't advise on this website, and nothing here is a quotation or a comparison of premiums.

  • Options for individuals, families, and for a squad or club that wants to cover several players.
  • Cover can include physiotherapy and outpatient diagnostics, depending on the policy.
  • Introduced through insurers on our panel — terms, exclusions and eligibility are theirs, not ours.

The wait is the thing you're insuring against.

Waiting three months for a scan is three months out of training, off work, or just worrying. Worth a conversation.
