What is corporate health insurance?

Corporate health insurance is a type of business insurance that covers the workforce for private diagnosis, treatment and healthcare resources, paid for by the company. Corporate health insurance policies and services are often designed to cover all of the workforce for the most common health conditions and associated treatments to ensure every employee can realise the healthcare benefits.

The benefits of corporate health insurance

Corporate health insurance can benefit larger companies who want to offer additional healthcare & wellbeing incentives, services and rewards for staff, as well as to help employers attract talented people looking for employee benefits. Access to corporate health insurance may also be a fantastic way to improve the wellbeing of your employees, which may have a large positive impact due to the inherent size of a corporation's workforce. Here are some of the most common corporate health insurance benefits you may notice:

Why choose an independent specialist for corporate business health insurance?

Corporate health insurance services may become costly due to the number of individuals included within the policy. This means it’s even more important to find the most competitive policy across all available options. Comparing these options, understanding the ins and outs of the policies, and knowing which corporate health insurance plan is right for your business can be extremely time-consuming and confusing when you’re dealing with several providers. We help to take away the hassle of finding the most suitable corporate health insurance policy through an independent comparison process, as well as getting to know you and exactly what it is your business needs, and what this looks like in terms of a corporate health insurance policy.

The above statistics demonstrate the issues of mental health & the effect it can have in a corporate environment- especially when you consider the current climate of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many employees and staff members at larger businesses may be struggling with issues such stress and anxiety while at work, so it is important that corporate businesses provide the appropriate support - which can easily be done through an inclusive corporate health insurance policy.

How corporate businesses are managing mental health in the workplace

  • 1. Counselling & coaching

    Health insurance providers can give large, corporate businesses the resources to provide employees with private counselling & coaching; to talk to qualified professionals about their mental health while at work and in a comfortable setting. 

  • 2. Greater flexibility

    Private health insurance access for larger businesses may lead to quicker response times when compared to public treatments and may offer more flexibility in locations, scheduling and appointment times. This means employees may seek mental health treatment without causing conflict in the schedules and hierarchies of larger, more corporate working environments.

  • 3. Promotes a healthy lifestyle

    Mental health support from the top of corporate management structures may create a healthier working environment for employees in larger businesses. Health insurance providers can help provide incentives to staff to allow a healthier working lifestyle to flourish.

  • 4. Accessibility to care

    At larger companies many employees may not feel comfortable asking for mental health help, or even know where they should turn to. Medical professionals and health workers may be available 24/7 and via the insurance providers’ application, providing staff with easy access to mental health support whenever they need it.

At Equity Health we work with a wide variety of different corporate health insurance providers, all offering a selection of resources that can help a larger business to support its employees. Simply offering corporate health insurance to your staff can prove to be one of the most important steps to showing employees that you care for their mental wellbeing.

How much will corporate health insurance cost?

As with all corporate health insurance policies, the price will depend on many factors such as the number of policyholders, the location you need cover in, and the level of cover you’re looking to purchase. Corporate businesses often opt for a more generic corporate health insurance policy that covers a wide range of treatments rather than purchasing a policy that covers employees for less common inclusions. We’ll work with you to understand exactly what your goals are and how this translates into your corporate health insurance policy.

What affects the price you'll pay:

  • Age of policyholders
  • Location
  • Level of cover
  • Hospital lists
  • Number of named employees
  • Underwriting
  • Claims history
  • Outpatient cover
  • Additional cover options

Insurance for employees leaving your corporate health insurance scheme

As part of our commitment to the customers we work with, we’ll always be available after purchasing your corporate health insurance policy for advice, renewal options and any other support you may need. As part of our service, when an employee retires or leaves your company's group corporate health plan, we can help them to continue with their cover under an individual health insurance policy. This policy may offer them the same support, medical coverage, inclusions and exclusions than they were previously covered for on your corporate health plan. Premiums may vary from those under the corporate plan and we can help them understand what options are are available to them when the time comes.
