Female CEO for Freedom

As reported by Health Insurance News women at the top levels of business are still in the minority. Freedom Healthnet however has a woman, Nahid Salehi as its chief executive officer.

Nahid Salehi launched Freedom Healthnet's private medical insurance policies in 2003 with the aim of providing the best health insurance whilst still keeping costs down.

Freedom provide traditional health insurance cover but instead of paying for your treatment they pay you. And then you can do as you wish with the money.

'We give them the freedom to our clients to choose when and where they want to have treatment. They can go anywhere in the world,' said Ms Nahid.

Currently Freedom offer three levels of cover and are still providing one of the cheapest private medical insurance on the market. You arrange your own treatment which can be at home or abroad. Alternatively you can choose to be treated by the NHS and keep the money to use as you wish. Premium costs are kept low because their administration costs are low.
