A guide to healthcare cash plan providers

by Personnel Today 18 Feb 2010
by Personnel Today 18 Feb 2010

Major suppliers of cash plans in the UK include:

WPA, a not-for-profit provider, has recently launched an NHS supplementary insurance plan that helps pay for extras including NHS parking. WPA has more than 100 years’ heritage and also offers solutions such as the WPA Protocol Corporate Healthcare Trust and Enterprise Flexible Benefits.

Aviva offers a flexible cash back policy that can contribute to your employees’ expected, everyday healthcare bills. It offers four levels of cover and provides flexibility in the scheme design.

Axa PPP offers three levels of company-paid cash plans. Employee CashBack, a “risk management” version of its standard cash plan, provides six benefits. Employee CashBack 50 and Employee CashBack 100 offer its full standard cash plan benefits with either a 50% or 100% refund of treatment costs.

BHSF provides a wide variety of corporate health insurance plans, health and wellbeing employee benefits and HR support services to help you manage employee absence and occupational health.

Bupa offers a number of healthcare cash plans. Cash Plan 100 comprises six levels of cover, three for individuals and three for families, with up to 10 different benefits offering 100% cash back up to the benefits limit. Dental and optical costs, consultation fees, prescription charges, and cash towards each night spent in hospital as an in-patient are among the benefits.

Health Matters will arrange a group cash plan scheme either o­n a company-funded basis or as a voluntary arrangement via salary deduction.

Health Shield has a voluntary or company-sponsored cash plan scheme offering a full range of everyday healthcare benefits. It has five levels of cover to choose from ensuring all your clients’ employees are catered for.

HSF offers a range of company plans that allow employees to benefit from either voluntary, part-paid or fully-paid schemes.

Medicash has provided healthcare solutions for many large and small organisations for most of its 140-year history. Still retaining its ‘not for profit’ ethos, it provides corporate healthcare benefits with real tangible value for both companies and their employees.

National Friendly is currently closed to all new applications (at time of going to press).

Paycare offers voluntary and company paid plans with four and five levels of cover respectively. Premiums start from under £1 per week and all benefits are paid at 100% of the annual limits.

Simplyhealth offers plans on an employee-paid and company-paid basis. From as little as £1 per employee, per week, the Simply Cash Plan helps your employees with the cost of their everyday healthcare. The company was formed from the merger of HSA, BCWA, HealthSure and LHF.

Sovereign Health Care has a range of health care cash plans designed to meet a variety of business needs which can be fully or part funded by your company.

UK Healthcare‘s business health insurance plans also help you meet your duty of care responsibilities and address the impact of absenteeism and presenteeism to your bottom line.

Westfield Health provides a employee-paid and company-paid benefits designed to increase motivation and productivity while managing absence and risk management.

WHCA offers the Orchard healthcare plan helping your employees return to work faster and improving staff wellbeing.
