New healthcare plan discount from VitalityHealth
VitalityHealth has announced that it is ‘shaking up the health insurance market’ in the UK with the launch of a new proposition aimed at businesses with between two and nine insured employees. The ‘Healthy Business Discount’ will give small businesses the opportunity to obtain a discount for a fully comprehensive healthcare plan, combined with wellness benefits (such as reduced price gym membership and free health checks).
The new product sees VitalityHealth entering into a digital software partnership with DocuSign, through which it will enable members to respond to questions quickly and securely via smartphones, tablets or PCs, the effect of which will be to lift the administrative burden from the employer.
“There is growing evidence that companies which invest in the health and wellbeing of their staff see greater productivity returns,” said Neville Koopowitz, CEO of VitalityHealth. “We understand that one of the key barriers for small businesses to invest in private healthcare for their employees is the cost. At Vitality our philosophy is to remove or reduce the barriers to getting healthy and we’ve applied that thinking to our new … proposition. By thinking differently, we can now offer discounts that wouldn’t have been available through traditional underwriting practices and at the same time deliver holistic healthcare and wellness solutions to more of Britain’s small businesses.”
The proposition will be available to all new clients with two to nine employees making a specific request for a healthy business discount quote.
