Health Cash Plan - an enhanced benefit and rate for Sussex staff
A Health Cash Plan is a type of health insurance policy that helps you to cover the cost of the healthcare needs of you and your family. We all know that these costs are increasing, and a Health Cash Plan is an affordable way to manage the costs. For a small monthly premium you can claim cash back on the cost of routine, but essential treatment up to a pre-set maximum amount in your claim year. This will include cashback on your spending for dental and optical care plus for additional care including physiotherapy and osteopathy and hospital in-patient stays for treatment, for example.
In addition to the cash back offering, policy holders also have access to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week phone lines where you can talk to a registered GP to seek advice and reassurance. You can choose a policy just covering yourself or one for you, your partner and up to four children. No medical examination is required and you can join up to the age of 65.
