AMII grows membership and premium

The Association of Medical Insurance Intermediaries (AMII) has announced further membership growth and now accounts for half a billion pounds in annual premiums.

Five new independent healthcare intermediary companies joined the Association in the third quarter, increasing AMII membership to over 100 intermediary firms, with more applications for membership currently being referenced.

The new members in the last quarter include:
Alan & Thomas Insurance Group, Poole, Dorset
Alec Finch Employee Benefits Ltd, Manchester
Barnett Waddingham LLP, London
Best Health Protect, London
Healthnet Services, Poole, Dorset

Andrew Tripp, chairman of the Association said: "AMII continues to go from strength to strength and our members now account for well in excess of £500m of private medical insurance (PMI) annual premium income in the UK.

"At a time when there is so much uncertainty over the NHS and with the trend of waiting lists getting longer, indications are demand for private healthcare and medical insurance will increase.

"This makes it even more important that people looking to take out PMI know where they can get specialist independent advice."
