Why is employee health cover important?

The NHS is struggling with demand

  • 7.75 million people are on a waiting list for NHS treatment1
  • 1/3 of NHS patients struggle to get through to their family GP2
  • Over 2,000 dentists left NHS dentistry in 20213

Employees are turning to private

  • 1 in 6 in the UK are now turning to private healthcare4
  • The majority of self-pay spend is on consultations, diagnostics, operations and private GPs4
  • 1.7 million people earning under £40k/year are paying for private health5

Access to healthcare isn’t easy

  • Private health can result in high and hidden costs
  • Navigating the journey can be daunting without support
  • Knowing who to trust isn’t easy when there are so many choices

As an employer, this impacts you as well

  • 1/3 of people who take sick days say they would have taken fewer sick days had they seen a GP sooner6
  • CEBR estimates that UK businesses could save £1.7bn in sick days just through early intervention in Mental Health and MSK7
  • 21% of people have taken up to a week off work due to dental pain and 19% say it affects their quality of work8

Lets make a difference together

Giving your employees the tools to take care of their health and wellbeing.

- Rachel, September 2023

I have used Simplyhealth for many years now and have found them excellent for claiming costs regarding healthcare... the app works well and is easy to use and payment is quick. I would recommend any time.

I recently made a claim for dental expenses. The claim process was so easy, and they paid out really quickly. Could not think of anything to improve the process!

From start to finish, the claims process was simple, straightforward and user-friendly. I have great visibility of what is included in the policy and the claim limits, it's easy to submit evidence, and my claims have been paid out within a few days.
