Paramedics & Life Insurance

Life insurance for paramedics will generally be available at standard terms with most insurance providers.

To find the right insurer for you our advisers could ask you:

• What is your annual mileage in the ambulance?
• If you are in a helicopter, how often are you called out each year?

It’s very likely that as a paramedic you will be able to arrange life insurance at normal terms. This means the basic premium for the life insurance.

If your role means that you use a helicopter to reach your patients, or that you might need to, then you might need to pick your insurer carefully. Some insurers might want to increase your policy premiums due to the flying.

Our expert advisers will find the right insurer and best life insurance for you.

Income protection pays you a replacement of your monthly income, if you are unable to work due to ill health.

Paramedics income protection policies should be available with most insurance providers. If you fly in a helicopter you might need to be picky over the insurer, to make you get the best terms possible for income protection.

There are a lot of aspects to income protection. How much you’re insuring each month, when the policy ends, how long a claim can pay out for and really importantly for you when the insurance kicks in.

The reason that this is so important to paramedics is if you are part of the NHS you could have a good sick pay package. We often see people in the NHS with a sick pay benefit of 6 months full pay followed by 6 months half pay. You want to make sure that your income protection matches this as, or you could end up paying more for your insurance than you need to.

Our expert advisers are here to make sure that your occupation and income protection policy work together, to give you the financial peace of mind that you need.
