3rd October 2022 by Charlotte Walker

Not-for-profit healthcare provider Benenden Health has expanded its distribution to further support the intermediary healthcare market by making its affordable alternative to private healthcare available to intermediaries and their corporate clients.

Benenden Healthcare for Business brings a new and exciting option to the market for businesses looking to add additional employee benefits that are low-cost, inclusive for all, straightforward and quick to implement.

Services offered as part of Benenden Healthcare for Business include round the clock care such as 24/7 GP and Mental Health helplines, plus speedy access to services such as physiotherapy, medical diagnostics, and treatment.

Andy Wiggans, Chief Commercial Officer at Benenden Health said: “We know that current environmental concerns such as NHS wait times and the cost-of-living crisis have put health and wellbeing at the top of both employer and employee minds. Therefore, we believe it’s absolutely the right time for Benenden Health to bring our affordable healthcare alternative to the intermediary market as more employers look for cost-effective solutions to help their employees.

“Less than one in five UK employees have any healthcare cover which leaves 80% of the UK workforce unprotected. With Benenden Healthcare for Business, brokers can offer their clients the opportunity to cover every member of their workforce with a private healthcare benefit. With no underwriting and a guarantee of acceptance for everyone, Benenden Healthcare for Business is simple to manage and implement and makes business healthcare an affordable reality for all employees.”

Benenden Health’s products and services were recognised at the recent Investment Life and Pensions Moneyfacts Awards, coming in first place for Best Private Medical Provider and Best Healthcare Service and commended for Best Cash Plan Provider.
