How Shepherd Health works

Three steps. Scout handles the hard part. You just pick the plan you want.

Tell Scout what you need

Takes under 2 minutes. No medical history required at this stage, just the basics.

Scout searches the market

We search every major UK insurer to find the best cover for your needs and budget.

Get covered with confidence

Choose your plan. Your adviser handles the paperwork and we stay on hand if you ever need to claim.

Why choose a broker

A better way to find health insurance

Going direct to an insurer means you only see one option. As an independent FCA-regulated broker, we're on your side, not the insurer's.

  • Scout searches the whole market

    We search all major UK health insurers including BUPA, AXA, Vitality, Aviva and The Exeter to find the plan that fits you.

  • Expert, impartial advice

    Our FCA-regulated advisers explain your options in plain English. No jargon, no pressure, just the right answer for your situation.

  • Free, same price as going direct

    We're paid a commission by the insurer when you take a policy. You pay exactly the same, often less, because we negotiate on your behalf.

  • Claims support when you need it

    If you ever need to claim, we're here to guide you through it. You're never left to deal with the insurer alone.
