How is dental insurance regulated?

The private medical and dental insurance industries are regulated by the General Insurance Standards Council (GISC).

An independent, non-statutory organisation, the GISC regulates the sales, advisory and service standards of its Members - including insurers, intermediaries, and any other parties acting on their behalf.

The main aim of the GISC is to ensure that people buying insurance are treated fairly.

If you buy an insurance policy through an individual or a company who is not a member of the GISC, you will not be protected by its legislation.

Their contact details are as follows:
