Whether you’re new to buying health insurance or you’ve had it for for a while, here are the answers to some commonly asked questions about health insurance for small and large businesses.
Health insurance plan for business is private medical cover for you and your employees. If you or an employee gets ill or injured, it can help you access healthcare professionals and treatment quickly. It can also give added benefits such as access to nurse helplines, stress support, and online health checks.
Business health insurance isn’t a legal requirement, but it can keep your business running efficiently, as you and your team may not spend as much time waiting for diagnosis and treatment.
Health insurance for your business isn’t compulsory, but here’s why it’s worth considering:
Save time
Your business can’t function without you (and your team). If you or an employee gets sick or injured, private healthcare benefits can give you quick access to healthcare professionals, including GPs, specialists, and physiotherapists.
Get back to business
If you don’t spend as much time waiting for a diagnosis and treatment, you and your employees can get back to running your business and making money quicker. Buying private health cover for your business can also give you a more competitive price when compared to personal health insurance.
Attract good people
Staff like to know their employer is looking out for their wellbeing. Health insurance benefits and services for employees can be a big incentive for them to stay with (or join) your business.
The cost of business health insurance usually depends on the kind of plan you choose.
An employee health insurance plan from Equipsme starts from £8 per person, per month. The most popular plan, which includes private specialist diagnosis and private hospital treatment, costs just £33 per employee, per month.
With Equipsme employee health insurance plans, you have the option to select different levels of cover for different members of your team – helping you get the right cover for the right people, at the right price.
The Equipsme healthcare plan is available for businesses of all sizes that have employees. Equipsme’s plans cover:
Cover for employees will start 21 days after you take out the company plan. This is to give employees time to increase cover levels or add family members. If you're a self-employed business owner and you're only taking cover out for yourself and your family, cover will start on the day after you purchase it.
A business insurance plan can protect you and your employees if the unexpected happens. It can also save time so they can focus on running your business, and it can help you to attract and retain employees.
You can choose a mixture of cover levels to suit your business needs and budget, depending on the number of employees you have. The plan will last for 12 months (unless otherwise agreed) and is subject to an annual renewal.
Pre-existing conditions that a person has had symptoms, medication, advice or treatment for in the three years before the plan start date aren’t covered.
