What is Business Health Insurance and what can it offer?

Company health plans, corporate health insurance or business health insurance – there’s multiple names for it but essentially it’s medical cover which supports the health of your employees. Every business has different needs and our policies are designed to give your employees reassurance, diagnosis and access to eligible treatment.

With two products to choose from here at Health-on-Line, we’re taking a quick look at what each can offer you and your business.

Business Priority Health

This option offers flexible private medical insurance designed around the business needs of your company and the personal needs of your employees. By using a selection of hand-picked hospitals, we’re able to keep standards high while suiting a variety of budgets.

Core cover

Our core cover for Business Priority Health offers inpatient or day-patient and outpatient which includes:

• Private hospital and day-patient unit fees, as long as you use a location specified in Our Hospital List
• No yearly limit on specialist fees as long as you use a Priority Health specialist
• CT, MRI or PET scans if referred by a specialist
• Accommodation for one parent paid in full while a child (under 16) who is covered by the policy is in hospital
• Outpatient – No yearly limit for specialist referred surgery.

In addition to your Core Cover, you can also select from various options to tailor the policy to suit you and your employees. This means you only pay for the cover they need.

This option is offered through AXA PPP healthcare and is designed to give you and your employees the support they need in finding treatment. This plan offers similar cover to Business Priority Health, but with a wider selection of hospitals available across the UK – over 250 UK hospitals and more than 24,000 specialists.

This business plan can therefore make finding the right hospital more convenient for your business and employees.

Cash payments

Receive £50 a day, up to £2,000 a year, if you choose to have day-patient or out-patient chemotherapy or radiotherapy to treat cancer on the NHS. We will only pay this if the treatment would have been covered by the plan.

Fast Track Appointments

This service means we can save your members time and trouble by quickly finding up to three of our fee-approved specialist. We can also arrange and book the appointments at suitable times and locations, as long as you have the Outpatients module added to your cover.

Working Body

If an employee experiences muscle, bone or joint pain, they can call Working Body to gain advice and/or exercises to try without needing to see a GP first. However, in order to be referred directly to a physiotherapist the Therapies module needs to be added to your policy.
