Medical insurance for contractors

WPA offers excellent value health insurance to contractors. With over 110 years of experience and tailored policies for the self-employed, their customers receive the highest standard service and care.

Private medical insurance

Contractors enjoy a variety of benefits that are not associated with permanent employment, including flexibility in working hours. However, this means that self-employed individuals, unlike permanent employees, run the risk of disrupting their cash flow where they are unable to work due to medical issues such as illness. They are also responsible for covering their own healthcare costs.

Using a private medical cover ensures that you receive the best treatment when you need it. It gives you the freedom to choose the service and treatment you would like to receive at a time that is convenient for you and your business. WPA is a non-for-profit company that has been providing cover for over a century. The company has won various awards and are renowned for their high levels of customer service.

Please note: A payment for private medical insurance on your behalf by a limited company of which you are the director is seen as a benefit in kind and subject to taxation. This benefit must be reported on form P11D on your tax return in July each year. If you choose to take out and pay for the cover personally, the payment will no longer be a benefit in kind.
