Who Freedom Health often suits
- Customers who want a modular, customisable policy

- People who’d rather pay only for the benefits they’ll actually use
- Customers comfortable with a smaller insurer (smaller doesn’t mean weaker; Freedom has a stable claims record)
Things to weigh up
- Brand recognition is lower than Bupa or AXA; relevant to some customers, irrelevant to others
- Wellness perks are lighter than the major insurers, by design
