Do employees need referrals or pre-authorisation?
No. Employees don’t need referrals or pre-authorisation. They can visit a qualified practitioner, pay for treatment, and claim back towards the costs directly. Online GP, mental-health and physiotherapy support can also be accessed without the need for a referral.
The practitioner must be appropriately registered, and some benefits may have exclusions or qualifying periods before claims can be made.
Are pre-existing conditions covered?
Yes. Unlike traditional private medical insurance, Simplyhealth plans cover pre-existing conditions, focus on prevention and early treatment, whilst offering a cost-effective way to keep your workforce healthy and productive.

What's the difference between your plans and private medical insurance (PMI)?

Simplyhealth focuses on everyday healthcare needs, with some of our plans including 24/7 online GP access, mental health support, and cash-back for dental, optical, and physiotherapy, which address the health issues that cause most sick days.
*Specific coverage will vary depending on the provider and plan.
