PruHealth, an arm of insurance group Prudential, has been named as the best medical insurance and health insurance provider.
Health Insurance magazine's annual awards recognised PruHealth as number one insurer, which the company describes as a "fantastic accolade".
PruHealth scooped the Individual Private Medical Insurance Provider of the Year and Health Insurance Company of the Year awards.
Shaun Matisonn, chief executive, commented: "We're extremely pleased that in two short years we have received such extensive broker recognition.
"A year ago at these awards we won Most Innovative New Product so it is very encouraging to see that people continue to value this innovation."
He added that the recognition, in addition to growth seen by the company, proves that its attitude to private medical insurance has been successful.
Mr Matisonn concluded that PruHealth has "the only sustainable solution to PMI [private medical insurance] inflation".
PruHealth was created in 2004, jointly launched by Prudential and South African company Discovery Holdings.
Prudential claims to be a leading provider of life insurance and pensions in the UK, with approximately seven million customers.
