Over half of Healix members benefit from Women’s Health offering

Healthcare provider Healix has reported on the success of its Women’s Health offering following its introduction in April 2021
Fifty per cent of female members with access to the offering have engaged with the service, which provides guidance on any female specific health problem and covers conditions usually omitted by private medical insurance, such as symptoms of menopause and guidance on fertility issues. This success comes after over three quarters (77 per cent) of Healix clients opted to include the offering in their trust.
Healix’s Women’s Health offering, designed with the expertise of Dr Karen Morton, assists women in accessing consultations and treatment about their health throughout their working lives. Over the year, Women’s Health benefits have helped more than half of female employees and families, predominantly with support for menopause, fertility issues and other female conditions.
Uptake expected to reach 80 per cent
The Women’s Health offering is now available as an additional service for all existing and new clients should they wish to have it included as part of their trust. Healix expects uptake for the benefits to reach 80 per cent of all clients by April 2022 with renewals and new schemes commencing. The success of the Women’s Health offering, both in terms of client uptake and member engagement, highlights the need for female specific healthcare provisions.
Ian Talbot, CEO at Healix, commented: “With a greater emphasis on health and wellbeing over the past two years, we were extremely proud to introduce comprehensive services for our clients and their employees earlier this year particularly helping women – who make up half the workforce – with female specific conditions.”
Meanwhile, Healix was recently chosen by insurer Zurich UK to bolster its healthcare offering.
