Introduction
The cost of healthcare can be very expensive. Especially if our clients' employees receive unexpected optical, dental, or physiotherapy treatment, budgeting this into their monthly salaries can be difficult. However, introducing a Healthcare Cash Plan can help to ease their worries.
A Healthcare Cash Plan is an insurance policy, which allows employees to claim back money towards the costs of their essential healthcare. Their cover will lessen the impact of unexpected healthcare costs, allowing them to budget for things such as prescription glasses, eye tests, dental check-ups, and essential physiotherapy.
We work exclusively with Westfield Health - one of the UK’s largest, non-profit Healthcare Cash Plan providers.
How does it work?
The low-cost Healthcare Cashplan from Westfield Health is designed with simplicity of mind and provides employees with two choices to ensure they choose a plan that works for them. They can choose either Regular Cover for optical and dental care, private consultations and therapy treatments or Regular Cover with Surgery Choices to include cover for 60 non-urgent surgical procedures.
Westfield Health is one of the UK's largest health insurers with more than a third of a million policyholders. There is no excess, and employees will be reimbursed for 100% of their treatment up to the claim limit.
