About Dr Compare

Healthcare, clearly compared.

Dr Compare exists because choosing private healthcare in the UK is harder than it should be. Policy documents are dense, prices are opaque, and it's difficult to find straight answers to simple questions: how long will I wait on the NHS? What would going private cost? Which insurer actually suits someone like me?

We publish clear, independent information about private health insurance, UK private hospitals, private GP services and NHS waiting times — written in plain English, the way a knowledgeable adviser would explain things to a family member. No jargon, no scare tactics.

When you ask for a quote through Dr Compare, we introduce you to an authorised UK health insurance specialist who can compare policies from leading insurers on your behalf. The service is free to use; we may receive a fee from partners when an introduction leads to a policy. That fee never changes the price you pay.

What Dr Compare is not

Dr Compare is not a medical practice and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. The "Dr" in our name refers to comparison of healthcare options, not to a medical qualification. Nothing on this site replaces a conversation with a qualified healthcare professional. We are also not an insurer and do not give financial advice or personal recommendations — our role is clear information and introductions to authorised specialists.
