Frequently asked questions – for businesses

What should I do as a Group Secretary?

As a Group Secretary we ask you, where appropriate, to:

• Forward application forms from employees joining the Group to us
• Forward any payment
• Distribute policy documentation to employees
• Tell us when employees leave the group
• To safeguard confidentiality we deal directly with employees over their claims.

How do I add partners or children?

If your company has chosen family cover this means employees can include their partner and any number of unmarried dependant children under the age of 21, or 24 if they are in full time education. Any family members included on the employee's policy must be resident in the UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man.

Some employees have joined/left, what's the best way to let you know?

The easiest way to tell us about any changes to the number of employees on your plan is to email the starters or leavers to us at [email protected]

We want to upgrade our cover - who do we talk to?

Can we manage our corporate account online?

Yes. We want to make managing your corporate account as simple as possible, putting you in control to instantly access and make changes to your account at a time convenient to you.
