Employee health insurance UK — what it covers, how P11D and BIK work, and how to use your workplace private medical scheme. Independent guide from PremierPMI.
Employee Health Insurance UK
Employee health insurance is a private medical policy provided by your employer as a workplace benefit. You typically get same-day virtual GP access, fast-track specialist consultations (usually within 3–7 days), private hospital treatment for eligible conditions, and mental health support. The cover appears on your P11D as a benefit-in-kind — you pay income tax on its value, but the actual healthcare access is worth far more than the tax cost to most employees.
