Members of Bedfordshire Police Federation and Bedfordshire Police staff can now get access to the benefits of private healthcare for as little as £16 per month*.
The National Police Healthcare Scheme aims to cover the cost of hospitalisation and specialist medical fees, for treatment for acute medical conditions, both as an in-patient and out-patient. But the scheme also covers the cost of outpatient physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic and acupuncture treatment up to £200 per course.
Subscription costs start at just £16 per month (for officers aged 18 to 29) and membership of the scheme can be extended to a member’s spouse, family and children. Police officers and staff who sign up get the first three months free and the first year is free for student officers.
