My mother has recently been diagnosed with a meningioma, and her consultant has recommended surgery. Unfortunately, we've been told the NHS waiting list is around six months, which feels like a long time to wait given the circumstances. We’re looking into using our private health insurance, but it appears that pre-existing medical conditions might not be covered. I’d really appreciate any recommendations for insurers who might cover newly diagnosed conditions like this. We're also considering self-funding the treatment and would be grateful for any advice on the most cost-effective way to go about funding treatment privatively.
