How does Company Health Insurance work?
Initially, you’ll choose the level of care you’d like to provide, before setting up a policy for some – or all – of your employees.
If they get sick, they can choose to see their NHS doctor or use the insurer’s online GP service (if available). The GP will give them a diagnosis or referral for further tests and treatment if needed.
In this case, they will receive a referral letter to send to your insurer, who will help them choose the right specialists and hospitals for their care. Invoices will be sent to the insurer for payment, minus the value of any excess.
Prescription services are often available too, delivering medicine to home or work addresses.
What are the business benefits of private healthcare?
Two of the main benefits to your business are reduced rates of absence and improved retention rates.
Private Medical Insurance is a valuable employee benefit, ensuring staff remain loyal to your business, reducing staff turnover. It also means that your employees have access to regular health checks, see a doctor faster and return to work in a much shorter time frame, so periods of absence are reduced.
What does Group Private Medical Insurance cover?
It can cover a range of costs, from dental care and eye appointments, through to physiotherapy and cancer treatment. These may be inpatients, outpatients and at-home treatment. The specifics of your policy are dependent on the levels of cover you select.
Take a look at what is typically included.
Does Group Private Medical Insurance cover mental health and stress?
Yes. In most cases this can be included in your cover.
Given the growing awareness of mental health issues and stress, most healthcare providers cover the diagnosis, counselling sessions and medical treatment when needed.
