Thanks Nance, so it wouldn't even be possible to see a specialist unless he has medical insurance? *sigh* Not really looking for any treatment, my husband is doing fine right now but he does need to look for a good neurologist to make contact with. You also never know what can happen; he could just walk across the road and end up in hospital with some broken bones. So was wondering whether he would be covered even for a normal accident. What does private cover cost per month, just a ballpark figure? I assume BUPA and HSA are good ones?

Another question; once I arrive in the UK I will be unemployed at first, would I be covered by the NHS through my husbands contributions?
Many thanks for your help!
