How do cash plans work?
Cash plans make company health care simple. For a monthly or weekly premium, which can be as low as £1 per person per week, the plan pays a cash sum for many services, including:
- Dental and dental accident fees
- Optical fees
- Complementary therapies (including physiotherapy and chiropractic treatment)
- Alternative therapies (including acupuncture and homeopathy)
- Chiropody
The scope of cash plan cover can also include a wider variety of services and treatments as suits each individual employee. GP helplines, health screening, discounts at health clubs and gyms, and even excess payments can be accessed.

How are cash plans funded?
In the simplest terms, the more you or your employee pays per week or month, the higher the level of cover and greater benefit received. Cash plans can be funded one of two ways.
Employer funded
The company pays for a set level of cover, with employees given the option to flex up their cover through salary deduction. This can be used to raise cover level or include dependents in the cover
Employee funded
The cash plan is solely funded by the employee. Our experienced consultants at IHC can help you choose the right employee-funded cash plan to fit your workforce and sit within your existing policies.
