👩‍💻 Why Millennials and Gen Z expect health benefits

Younger employees are redefining what a great workplace looks like - and healthcare is high on their list.

Insights:

- 68% of UK employees under 35 say wellbeing support influences where they work.

- Gen Z values mental health, flexibility, and preventive care more than any generation before.

- 1 in 3 younger workers would choose health benefits over higher pay.

For employers, that means offering private health insurance isn’t just a perk - it’s a recruitment and retention strategy.

At Lifepoint Healthcare, we help forward-thinking businesses design cover that speaks to today’s workforce.

📱 The rise of Virtual GP services in health insurance

Healthcare is changing - and it’s all about speed, convenience, and access.

Today, most major private health insurers include Virtual GP services as part of their cover. Here’s why they’ve become a game-changer:

🕒 24/7 Access – speak to a GP day or night, often within minutes.
🏠 No Waiting Rooms – consultations from home or on the go.
💊 Prescriptions Made Simple – digital prescriptions sent straight to your local pharmacy.
🌍 Global Reach – perfect for business travellers or remote workers.

Virtual GPs mean your employees spend less time off work, and more time feeling their best.

💡 Whether it’s a quick consultation or peace of mind at 10pm, it’s healthcare that fits modern life.

5 Ways Health Insurance Can Boost Productivity and Staff Retention

In today’s job market, salary alone isn’t enough to attract and keep great people. Employees want to feel supported - and health insurance is one of the most powerful ways to do that.

Here’s how it can directly improve your business:

1️⃣ Fewer Sick Days
Private health insurance gives employees faster access to GPs, diagnostics and treatment - helping them recover quicker and return to work sooner.

2️⃣ Attracting Top Talent
A strong benefits package can be the deciding factor for jobseekers. Health insurance signals that your business values wellbeing - and sets you apart from competitors.

3️⃣ Improved Morale and Engagement
When staff feel looked after, they’re more focused, motivated and loyal. It’s not just a benefit - it’s a culture-builder.

4️⃣ Better Long-Term Health Outcomes
Preventative care such as screenings, physiotherapy and mental health support keeps your team healthier and more present at work.

5️⃣ Higher Staff Retention
Replacing employees is expensive. Health insurance encourages loyalty because it’s a benefit people don’t want to lose.

👉 In short: investing in employee health isn’t just good for people - it’s good for business.

At Lifepoint Healthcare, we help companies of all sizes find the right business health insurance - comparing quotes from leading UK providers and handling everything from start to finish.

Mental wellbeing is just as important as physical health - and more people are realising how valuable the right cover can be, especially for employers.

Here’s how private health insurance can help:

💬 Therapy & Counselling – access to confidential sessions with qualified professionals.
📞 24/7 Mental Health Helplines – speak to trained counsellors anytime you need support.
🏥 Inpatient & Day-Patient Care – for more complex or ongoing conditions requiring specialist treatment.
📱 Digital Wellbeing Tools – many insurers include mindfulness apps and online resources.

With NHS waiting lists for mental health support continuing to grow, private cover offers faster access, more flexibility, and choice of specialist - so people can get the help they need sooner.

At Lifepoint Healthcare, we help individuals and businesses find policies that make mental health a priority.

💡 Because a healthy mind is key to a healthy life.

Why use a broker instead of going direct to an insurer?

Here’s the difference in a nutshell:

🚪 Going Direct:
- Only see one insurer’s options
- Less negotiating power
- Do all the admin yourself

🤝 Using a Broker (like Lifepoint):
- Compare all major UK insurers side by side
- We negotiate better rates on your behalf
- Full admin support (applications, claims, renewals)
- Ongoing advice as your needs change

The cost? Nothing. Our service is completely free to clients.

The choice is simple: save time, save money, get better cover.

What is ‘excess’ in health insurance - and how does it affect your premium?

Put simply:

A higher excess means you agree to pay more upfront if you claim, but your monthly premium will be lower.

A lower excess means you’ll pay less if you claim, but your premium will be higher.

The key is finding the right balance - choosing an excess you can comfortably afford if you ever need treatment, without paying more than you should each month.

At Lifepoint Healthcare, we guide clients through these choices every day - helping them understand what’s realistic, compare across insurers, and find the cover that fits their budget.

The short answer: Yes - in some cases.

Here’s what you need to know:

🏢 For businesses:

Health insurance can be classed as a business expense, reducing your corporation tax.

It’s also a valuable employee benefit, boosting recruitment and retention.

👩‍💼 For employees:

Employer-provided health insurance is usually treated as a Benefit in Kind (BiK).

That means staff may pay tax on it - but the value often far outweighs the cost, especially with reduced sick leave and faster treatment.

👉 The important part: health insurance is an investment in your people and your business.
At Lifepoint Healthcare, we help SMEs and larger companies design cost-effective schemes that deliver real value.

Client Story: How Private Health Insurance Made All the Difference

Earlier this year, one of our clients received the devastating news of a breast cancer diagnosis.

In moments like this, the last thing anyone should be worrying about is whether they can access the right care.

Here’s what happened:

✅ At first, there was uncertainty around whether they could choose their preferred consultant - something that was incredibly important to them.
✅ Our team stepped in, liaising directly with the insurer to ensure their wishes were respected.
✅ Once approved, they were supported by a dedicated cancer care nurse, who guided them through which treatments were covered.

Our client told us:

“I was much relieved when the insurer finally agreed that I could be treated by the surgeon of my choice. That was paramount to me. From then on, the support has been very good… I am very thankful and grateful to have received this excellent care going forward.”

💡 This is exactly why private health insurance matters. It’s not just about faster access — it’s about choice, reassurance, and compassionate care when it counts most.

At Lifepoint Healthcare, we’re proud to stand by our clients, ensuring they get the support they deserve every step of the way.
