“What does private health insurance actually cover?”
It’s one of the questions we get asked most - and the answer depends on your policy.

Here’s a simple breakdown of the most common types of cover:

Almost all policies cover these as standard:
🔹 Inpatient care – hospital treatment where you stay overnight (e.g. surgery, scans)
🔹 Outpatient care – consultations, diagnostics, and treatments without an overnight stay
🔹 Private rooms & comfort – shorter waiting times and private hospital facilities
🔹 Cancer cover – faster diagnosis, access to advanced drugs and treatments

Many cover these, though some require specific add-ons:
🔹 Mental health support – therapy sessions, psychiatrist appointments, inpatient stays
🔹 Virtual GP services – 24/7 access to doctors via phone or app
🔹 Therapies – physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic care

Some policies cover all of this, others just a few key areas — and we help you build the right mix for your needs or your team’s.

Sick days are costing UK businesses more than ever - but private health cover can help.

The average UK employee took 7.8 sick days in 2023 - the highest in over a decade.*

Many of these absences are due to:
- Long NHS wait times (for GP appointments - we all know the struggle - or specialist referrals)
- Mental health issues and stress

Private healthcare helps employees access faster diagnoses, specialist care, treatment, and support meaning quicker recovery and fewer absences.

Research shows companies offering private health cover see:
- Reduced short-term sickness
- Improved return-to-work rates
- Higher staff morale and productivity

✅ Healthy employees = a healthy business.

We help SMEs build affordable plans that work for their team — and their bottom line.

🏢 Is Private Health Insurance Worth It for Small Businesses?

As a small business owner, every investment you make matters. So is offering private health insurance to your team really worth it?

More SMEs than ever are saying yes—and here’s why.

🩺 What Is It?
Private health insurance (or group health cover) gives your employees access to private healthcare—quicker diagnoses, shorter wait times, private hospital care, and often, a more comfortable and personalised experience.

Typical cover includes:
✔️ Private hospital treatment
✔️ Diagnostics & specialist consultations
✔️ Cancer care
✔️ Physiotherapy
✔️ Mental health support
✔️ Extras like dental, optical or virtual GP access (depending on plan)

💼 Why Small Businesses Are Offering It:

Attract & Retain Talent – Competitive benefits make your offer stand out

Reduce Sick Days – Faster treatment means quicker return to work

Support Mental Health – Many policies include counselling or therapy

Boost Loyalty & Morale – Show you genuinely care for your team

Tax-Efficient Reward – Especially valuable for directors or high earners

💷 What Does It Cost?
Basic plans can start from £20–£30 per employee/month, with more comprehensive cover from £45–£80+. Costs depend on age, team size, and level of cover.

🔁 Not Ready for Full Cover?
Alternatives include:

Health cash plans

Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs)

Private GP memberships
But these don’t offer the same depth of treatment as full PHI.

📈 Final Thoughts
Offering private health insurance isn’t just for big companies anymore. For SMEs, it can be a smart way to protect your team, reduce downtime, and stand out as an employer that genuinely values its people.

"Why do I need health insurance if we have the NHS?"

This is a question commonly asked by people who don't have health insurance.

And the reality is that, of course, we don't *need* it.

We are lucky enough to live in a country with a free and (mostly) fully functional health service.

But it has to be acknowledged: the NHS is struggling - and it's only getting worse.

Health insurance provides:
- Quicker Access to Healthcare. Anyone who has tried to get a GP appointment or referral in the last decade knows the struggles of waiting 6 months for a consultant appointment. This selling point alone is the reason most people invest in health insurance.
- Access to Private Hospitals. Being unwell is always going to be stressful for you and your loved ones. Having a guaranteed private room instead of an understaffed ward goes a long way towards helping.
- Private GP. Private GP, especially online GPs, are now nearly ubiquitous amongst the major insurers and ensure you can avoid germ-filled waiting rooms and the dreaded 8am appointment phone call.
- Extra Time. No-one likes to feel rushed when it comes to their health but this is the reality of the overworked NHS. Take the time you need to ease your worries.
- Peace of Mind. Knowing that you and your family can get the treatment they need, when they need is, can be a weight off your mind.

Additionally, health insurance doesn't eliminate the need for the NHS. Many people who have policies in place still use the NHS for various things, including dental and chronic health conditions like diabetes.
