Did you know there are tax benefits to taking out a business healthcare plan?
Private medical insurance is often a highly valued employee benefit. Quick access to diagnosis and treatment can have benefits for both your team and for your business and it can even be beneficial from a tax perspective. If you take out a business healthcare plan rather than a personal one, you could be eligible for tax relief.
What is small business health insurance?
Small business health insurance is an insurance policy that you can buy to help look after the health and wellbeing of your employees with private healthcare.
Our small business health insurance plans provide cover for 1-249 employees. We think that the best way for you to get the cover that's right for you and your business is to let you build your plan yourself, so we offer a range of cover options for you to choose from. 90% of our small business customers stay with us, so we think they agree too.
Whether your priority is giving your employees quick access to diagnosis and treatment, mental health support for the pressures which come with your area of work, or speedy physiotherapy access for your team, you can choose the best combination of cover for your business and budget. Plus, you and your employees can also add family members to your plan to get healthcare cover at business rates.

Small business health insurance is good for business
Feeling valued is motivating. With healthcare benefits for employees, you can show your team just how important they are to you. This helps you do business better in a number of ways:
-
Retain employees
The Association of British Insurers commissioned a survey of 2,005 people in 2023 and found 57% saw health insurance as a key part of an employee benefits package.
-
Attract top talent
Private healthcare cover shows you’re committed to your employees. The Financial Times (2023) argue that it can help you persuade top-level new recruits to commit to your business.
-
Flexible medical appointments
Allow your team to choose appointments at a time and location that suits them, so they can look after themselves and their work, no problem.
Included as standard with your plan
24/7 online GP service
Access to video or phone appointments with a GP or Advanced Clinical Practitioner where your employees will have plenty of time to talk through their health concerns. AXA Doctor at Hand is powered by Doctor Care Anywhere. Appointments are subject to availability. Advanced Clinical Practitioner are available 8am – 10pm.
Care for cancer and heart conditions
Our experienced healthcare practitioners are available at the end of the phone day or night. Speak to our specialist cancer and heart nurses 9am-5pm Monday – Friday. Outside these hours our experienced nurses and counsellors provide round the clock support by phone.
Specialist appointment booking service
Your employees can see the right person quickly. The sooner they see a consultant, the sooner they can get a diagnosis and treatment, and the sooner they can start getting better. You'll need to include either an Outpatient option or our Diagnostics Only option with your business healthcare plan for the consultation to be covered.
Easing the pressure with physio
Access to our muscles, bone and joint service to help your people manage or alleviate joint and muscle pain – whether it’s a bad back or sprained ankle. A physiotherapist will assess their symptoms online or over the phone and talk to them about what they could mean. Available for members aged 18 and over.
Health information and support
We’ll give your employees access to our 24/7 health support line. It comes as standard, no matter what cover options you choose, so your team can get help and support whether it's day or night.
Looking for personal health insurance?
Our personal health insurance plans come with lots of benefits too.
