The Main Advantages Of Group Health Insurance

By Carl Peterson


Group health insurance is the key to guarantee the benefits of your employees, particularly when it comes to receiving medical treatment and aid. With this type of insurance, employees don't have to wait long and suffer.

There are lots of benefits associated with this type of insurance scheme.

To the manager, a staff member requiring medical treatment will get it quickly, therefore assisting speed up recovery and keeping disruption because of sickness in the office to a minimum. The worker may also be more focussed in their work as they will not be spending some time fretting about a long wait for the treatment on the NHS, or a medical diagnosis and so on or suffering undue pain.

The emphasis on employees is that they can save tremendous amount of money when it comes to having lots of valuable health and medical benefits. In the first instance, they don't need to pay out big rates for a private medical insurance plan - which can literally make three numbers each month. And they've got the peace of mind that should they require it, professional medical assistance is available immediately.

As part of the Group Health Insurance Plan, lots of firms who do offer this help to employees will also pay for their workers to have a yearly 'healthcheck' at an exclusive hospital. These types of health assessments cover blood tests, blood pressure, level of fitness, height, weight etc and are performed to examine that the employee is in optimum health or to spot a so far undiscovered problem. In any event, the screening process is beneficial to employees along with their business employers.

For an individual who isn't part of an employers scheme to have the same kind of health screening, the price can be everything from 150 upwards, so there can be an added value to the benefit.

Any staff advantage, such as company health insurance, certainly helps boost staff morale as it displays that the employer truly concerns about their employees.

Although health plans will vary from employer to employer and provider to provider, a normal Group Health Insurance package will offer cover for:

1. In-patient and day-patient therapy once the staff has received a diagnosis

2. Out patient treatments (for example, physiotherapy)

3. Free Helplines - for example, a GP Helpline and Stress Counselling Helpline.

4. Specialist consultations following a referral from the employee's GP

If you are an employer who has not yet instigated a company health insurance plan, consider this - you might find that the advantages of taking out group health insurance (like better staff morale, employees getting less time off because of severe illness, attracting a greater qualified degree of staff etc) will far outweigh the cost. And in the long term, undoubtedly it will have a good impact on your company.
