Jane joined United Patients under the Silver Plan in July 2000 aged 41. Jane is an 80wpm secretary and is in full time employment. Her hobbies and leisure interests include dining out with friends and going to aqua-aerobics at least once a week. In May 1998 Jane experienced several epileptic fits for the first time in her life and sought specialist consultation. Sadly, tests revealed the presence of a malignant brain tumour for which a biopsy and radiation treatment would be required. Two lengthy stays in hospital followed totalling 95 days. The total cash payment Jane received for her hospitalisation and subsequent convalescence was �6,090.45
"When I joined United Patients I never imagined in my wildest dreams that something like this could have happened to me. My mum came to collect me from hospital once the doctors told me I was OK and she told me that a claim form had arrived from United Patients. A few weeks later the cheque for six thousand pounds arrived. It came in very handy indeed and certainly made my recovery more comfortable."
