Group health insurance policies are becoming increasingly popular in Britain as more companies than ever look to address the impact of employee absenteeism and presenteeism on their business. In the UK in 2010, the average number of days taken sick by staff was 7.7, costing an average of £600 per employee per year*.

The average level of employee absence has increased slightly in the last 12-months, with many employers reporting an increase in stress-related absence*. Add to this an employer’s increasing duty of care responsibilities and it’s easy to see how an employee group healthcare cash plan can help form a solution.

Here at UK Healthcare we provide a wide range of business healthcare policies, which are designed to help companies look after workforce welfare, and in turn improve business productivity.

Group health insurance policies are simple to set up, and will not interfere with your running of the company; as business healthcare policyholders deal directly with us. Your employees simply submit a claim form to UK Healthcare, along with a receipt or other documentation as proof of expenses incurred, and the full amount (up to policy limits) will be reimbursed.

Our business healthcare policies start at just £1 per employee per week, which makes our group health insurance one of the most affordable methods of business healthcare. We provide an extensive range of group health insurance options for businesses, from fully funded policies, to part-subsided or voluntary schemes.
