Nottingham’s largest insurance broker, Russell Scanlan, is seeing widespread interest in brand new health insurance plan, Equipsme – and has just signed up its first customer to the new product.

The company is just one of a handful of specially selected brokers in the UK to distribute the pioneering plan, which champions simple and accessible health insurance for SMEs and provides businesses with medical cover for as little as £7 per month, per employee.

Bryan Banbury, Managing Director at Russell Scanlan, said:

“We’re thrilled to have our first Equipsme customer on board – a Notts-based SME which was attracted by the simplicity and flexibility of the product. As NHS waiting times continue to increase and access to specialist medical treatment becomes more and more difficult, people are starting to look for other ways to protect the health of themselves and their families. Equipsme is an excellent option for small and medium sized businesses looking to offer their employees this added working benefit.”

Equipsme is an innovative product, unlike anything else available on the market. Aimed at small and medium businesses who may have struggled to offer PMI to their employees, Equipsme provides healthcare cover for £7-£37 per month, a tiny fraction of the cost of BUPA or similar services. With the demand for better healthcare now making insurance one of the most attractive employee benefits, this option caters for businesses looking to secure the top talent in their industry.

Bryan added:

“Equipsme is simple, effective and the first of its kind to supply an under-serviced market of almost 6 million SMEs in the UK. We believe it will revolutionise the way businesses see ‘private’ healthcare and help them to incentivise talented employees.”

Equipsme further broadens Russell Scanlan’s service offering, which already includes traditional PMI, high-net worth cover, specialist brewery insurance and tailored business insurance for all sectors. The service is now available to all of the company’s existing customers, with plans to attract new business over the coming months.

Once a business has signed up to Equipsme, its employees can upgrade their plans for £8-£12 per month and have the choice to pay to add their family to their cover. Russell Scanlan is one of just 30 insurance brokers from across the UK, chosen to work with Equipsme on this ground-breaking product.

Packages can include a wide selection of benefits from remote GP service and physio to diagnostic tests, hospital treatment and healthchecks depending on the level of cover, effectively filling the growing gap in the market for reliable healthcare. Optional extras include a stress support package, dental and optical cover.
