Our approach to business healthcare lets you build bespoke plans for every type of small and medium sized company, and every budget. Your clients can now create a health insurance plan with health and well-being support included. They can enhance their healthcare by choosing the Dental Cover, Travel Cover or Health Cash Options. These can also be bought as stand-alone modules. And there are other great benefits to choose from too, like our Employee Assistance Programme.

There are lots of options that help to reduce costs, and your clients can easily adjust their plan as their needs change or their business develops. What’s more, for companies switching to us, our plan’s flexibility means it’s easy to match existing policy terms.

This exciting product is supported by the first-class customer service that advisers and their clients have come to expect from us.
