What is a health cash plan?

A health cash plan is an insurance policy provided by an employer which helps to cover the cost of employees’ routine medical costs, such as eye tests and dental appointments. Plans can also include over the phone assistance with things like mental health and financial support, as well as physiotherapy, and prescription charges.

How do health cash plans work?

Employees will need to submit their bill and receipt to the insurance provider for any medical expense they have paid for which is covered by the policy. The insurance provider will refund a percentage of the cost, the maximum refund is determined by the terms of the policy.

Is a health cash plan a taxable benefit?

Health cash plans are considered a benefit-in-kind (BIK), and the employee is liable to pay income tax on the premium the employer pays for the plan. Health cash plans are an allowable business expense, so the employer can deduct this for the purpose of corporation tax.
