Why offer your employees health insurance?
Reduce GP waiting times
Business health insurance can offer faster access to health support. Easing the frustration and anxiety that your employees might experience when waiting for health diagnosis and treatment boosts morale and reduces negative distractions.
A survey of 830 GPs revealed that the average waiting time is up from ten days in 2015. It also reveals that more than 40% of patients are having to wait longer than 14 days for a routine appointment. (pulsetoday.co.uk)

What are the features of each business health insurance plan?
Improve business enagement and productivity
With uncertainty, employees are left in limbo because they do not know what they are facing. They could also be distracted mentally and unable to perform certain tasks at work. Diagnosis is a key factor in determining how long you will wait for treatment. The quicker you are diagnosed the sooner the stress of what is wrong is over and treatment can start.
Your employees can book GP access 24/7 from anywhere in the world and contact AXA PPP healthcare to access Physio (and Diagnosis or Hospital Treatment if included in their Plan).
What is not included in the business health insurance plans?
Brand new medical conditions are covered under the business health insurance as long as they continue to respond to treatment. However, the plan won't cover the Physio, Diagnosis or Treatment cost of any health problem that anyone included under the plan already had symptoms in the last three years (what we call pre-existing conditions).
A pre-existing condition is any disease, illness or injury that members:
- have received medication, advice or treatment for in the three years before the start of cover; or
- have experienced symptoms of in the three years before the start of cover; whether or not the condition was diagnosed.
In some cases, a further medical information form may need to be completed. Or if a members NHS GP needs to send more details about the medical condition, the member may need to give consent for access to their medical records.
Other important business health insurance exclusions
- Treatment of Cancer the plan does not cover the treatment of cancer. However, members on Core Cover Level 1, 2 or 3, have cover up to the point at which cancer has been diagnosed.
- Pregnancy and childbirth but the plan will pay to treat certain medical conditions that arise during pregnancy (depending on Core Cover Level including Treatment)
- Ongoing, recurrent and long-term conditions we call these chronic conditions
- Treatment received outside the UK
- Mental health conditions the plan does not cover the treatment of these conditions but if you have included the Stress Support extra cover, we can help with telephone and face-to-face counselling
