As an employer, prioritising the health and wellness of your employees is not only the right thing to do, it also makes sound business sense. When employees are fit and healthy, they are more productive, engaged and motivated, leading to increased profitability and success for your business. At a time when we are all feeling the pinch of the cost-of-living crisis, we all appreciate any support which can help us with costs.
The good news is that there is an affordable and hassle-free way to help your employees with everyday healthcare expenditure such as dental and optical treatment. ECIS, a regulated insurance broker, has a range of Cash Plans which can help your employees cover their everyday healthcare expenses.
The Bupa Cash Plan has different price points with a choice of benefit level options to fit various budgets, all from £1 per week. Not only that, but Cash Plans can help employees avoid more serious health issues by providing contributions towards routine healthcare treatments and services such as physiotherapy.
Taking control of healthcare costs
Everyday healthcare costs can be a barrier for many individuals seeking to maintain their health and wellbeing. Even regular check-ups with a dentist or optician can be costly. And if treatments are then required, the expenses can quickly add up.
With Bupa Cash Plans, employees access routine check-ups, dental care, optical services, physiotherapy and more without worrying about financial burdens. Here are just some of the benefits a cash plan provides:
- Dental treatments: routine dental check-ups, cleaning, and X-rays, as well as more advanced procedures such as fillings, crowns, and root canals.
- Optical care: eye exams, prescription glasses, and contact lenses.
- Physiotherapy/Osteopathy: physio/osteo sessions for conditions such as back pain, sports injuries, and mobility issues.
- Alternative therapies: therapies such as acupuncture, chiropractic treatment, and homoeopathy.
- Mental health support: providing an Employment Assistance Programme for support with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.

The Bupa Cash Plan has different price points to fit various budgets. Not only that, but Cash Plans can help employees avoid more serious and costly health issues by providing access to routine healthcare treatments and services.

Boost employee satisfaction and retention
Offering a Cash Plan can boost employee satisfaction and retention by showing that your employees’ wellbeing is a priority for your business. Cash Plans can help with employee engagement, reduce absenteeism, and increase staff retention. Moreover, Cash Plans provide an inclusive option for individuals who may have been denied coverage by traditional insurance policies, as they typically don’t require medical checks.
The perfect complement to your Private Medical Insurance
It’s important to note that Cash Plans do not replace Private Medical Insurance (PMI), as they don’t cover major medical procedures or hospital stays. However, they can be a valuable supplement, providing extra financial support for everyday healthcare expenses which aren’t typically covered by PMI.
