What are the benefits to my workforce?
A policy from UK HealthcareTM can help remove financial barriers that can prevent people accessing treatment. Policies are designed to be used when treatment is required up to policy limits, making them truly valuable to employees.
How easy is it to introduce?
Policyholders deal directly with UK HealthcareTM so you can leave most of the administration to us. We will work with you to tailor a communication strategy so your workforce fully understands the policy and buys-in to its benefits.
When will employees be able to make a claim?
On company-funded schemes we offer immediate benefit from the date of your first payment to us. For all other schemes a waiting period of up to 13 weeks may apply.
How do employees make a claim?
All claims are handled by our parent company and underwriter Bolton & District Hospital Saturday Council. Employees simply provide a receipt or supporting documentation for treatment received or purchased, then submits it along with a claim form directly to us.
