The FINANCIAL — March 2013 is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and men around the UK are being asked to get checked out early, in a bid to combat this terrible illness.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in the male population, with around 36,000 men diagnosed with the illness every year. In spite of this, most men are notoriously reluctant to go for an early pre-emptive check-up.
There are a number of reasons for this. One is a lack of knowledge and awareness which Prostate Cancer Awareness month attempts to rectify. Another is an innate embarrassment in consulting a doctor, which might sound trivial but is a genuine obstacle in the battle against prostate cancer. A third reason is the spiralling cost of health screenings and specialist consultations, should an issue arise.
As WebWire said, UK Healthcare provides personal and corporate health cash plans which provide a level of cost effective health insurance cover, which can be used to claim back the cost of health screenings and specialist consultations, which may help in the battle against prostate cancer. Other benefits covered include dental and optical treatments, wellbeing treatments, complimentary therapies, medical prescriptions, overnight hospital stays and a lot more.
The policy allows plan holders to claim 100% cash back, up to agreed policy limits.
A wide range of health cash plans are available from UK Healthcare with costs of as little as 28p per day. Customers choose a level of cover that suits their needs, their lifestyles and those of their families.
