Is there an age limit on joining?
There is no upper age limit on a company-paid or company subsidised plan provided that the individual is still actively employed within the organisation. For employee funded plans, new members must be between 16 and 65 at the time of joining. There’s no medical required to join and premiums are not based on age.
Are pre-existing conditions accepted?
On employee funded schemes, pre-existing conditions in relation to Inpatient Stays and Hospital Daycase claims are always subject to a 12 month waiting period before benefit can be claimed regardless of any promotional offer that may apply to other benefits.
Will we receive annual claims reports for our clients?
Yes. On request we are able to provide you with an annual report showing how many claims were made for each of the benefits by your clients’ employees, and the total amount claimed. However, for data protection reasons these will be group figures as we cannot supply figures on an individual basis.
How easy is it to set up a policy?
Setting up a new company is easy. Once the contracts have been agreed and signed, all you need to do is supply the required information from your client in the electronic format supplied by us and we’ll do the rest.
Can my client tie this in with pay reviews?
Yes. Adding a company paid health cash plan to your clients’ staff benefits forms a good negotiating tool when reviewing pay. Medicash Reward is a valuable benefit with a high perceived value from those who use it.
How much can employees save on gym membership?
The cover allows the individual and their immediate family (partner and children) access to health club membership at discounted rates at selected participating establishments. The level of discount varies from gym to gym, but usually relates to the lowest corporate rate. For more details on participating gyms and the level of discount, please call our partners Incorpore on 0845 602 4601 or go online to www.incorpore.co.uk and use the login reference MED.
