AXA PPP healthcare has introduced a new lower cost ‘six week’ medical insurance option for companies modelled on its popular plan for larger sized employers, Corporate Health Plan.
Corporate Health Plan 6 provides immediate access to private out-patient treatment, including specialist consultations and scans. It also provides immediate access to private treatment provided the NHS cannot provide the treatment the patient needs within six weeks.
This arrangement, where clients use the NHS to treat more urgent cases, helps to reduce premiums by up to 15 per cent.
Chris Rofe, AXA PPP healthcare head of client relationships, said:
‘Businesses are under considerable pressure to contain their costs and Corporate Health Plan 6 is a valuable new cost-saving option for employers.
‘It’s also an attractive option for companies who want to consider different levels of cover for their workforce or as part of a flexible benefits package.’
