What are Healthcare Cash Plans?
Healthcare Cash Plans is a scheme you can offer employees providing a practical way to manage everyday healthcare expenses, such as dental check-ups, eye tests, and physiotherapy. By paying a monthly premium, your employees can claim back costs up to a set limit, depending on the plan you choose. These plans not only help control routine health costs but can also come with added perks, such as health advice and discounts, ensuring your team stays healthy and motivated.

- Dental check-ups
- Eye tests
- Prescription costs
- Physiotherapy
- Alternative therapies like acupuncture
Policyholders can claim back a portion of these costs, up to a set limit, depending on your plan. Additionally, some plans can offer benefits like health and wellbeing advice, helplines, and discounts on health-related products and services.
Which Businesses can Healthcare Cash Plans Cover?
Healthcare Cash Plans can cover a wide range of businesses, from SMEs to large corporations. Here are some examples:
- Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs): Typically covering businesses with 1 to 250 employees, these plans offer tailored benefits to support your employees’ health and wellbeing.
- Limited Companies: You can provide cash plans to employees, promoting a healthier workforce and reducing absenteeism.
- Large Corporations: With more than 250 employees, these businesses can offer comprehensive cash plans, often at lower premiums due to group size.
- Startups: Cash plans can be an attractive perk to attract and retain talent in a competitive market.
