Simplyhealth acquires Aster Group as new corporate cash plan client
Simplyhealth has acquired Aster Group, a housing association based across the South, as a new corporate client. All of Aster Group’s 1,440 employees will benefit from a company-funded health cash plan provided by Simplyhealth.
Simplyhealth supports 3.7 million individuals, businesses, employees, and pets through their health plans, helping customers take control of their health. This includes access to health products, services, and support when they need it such as 24/7 GP access and virtual physiotherapy appointments.
With the current climate, Simplyhealth have launched their Coronavirus Hub on their website, accessible for everyone. The hub contains helpful information, blogs and articles about staying healthy for both mental and physical health.
Simplyhealth provides over 1,900 companies with employee benefit schemes, equating to over 3,500 individual corporate health and dental clients.
We are delighted to have acquired Aster Group, as one of our corporate health cash plan clients. Our health plans will enable Aster employees to access the healthcare services that they need, when they need it.
It is important, more so now than ever, to continue to support employees with their physical and mental health.
Aster Group provides safety and security through reliable customer services and supplies a wide range of housing options in response to the housing crisis.
At Aster we’ve provided a health cash plan for our employees for many years. As part of a review of our wider benefits offering for all our employees, and with good take up of this benefit across the business, we wanted to continue to provide this to help support a healthier lifestyle.
Simplyhealth was able to offer us a competitive package and also offer us some enhanced and new benefits including virtual physiotherapy, which we believe based on claims data, our employees will value, particularly at this time.
Since 1872 we’ve been helping people get healthcare through our health plans, charity partnerships and by being a voice in healthcare. Today we’re delighted to be the UK’s leading provider of health plans, dental plans and pet health plans, which help individuals, families, employees and pets to get support with their health when they need it.
We don’t have shareholders which means we are totally focused on making sure no one goes without the healthcare support they need, and why we are passionate about being a voice in healthcare and partnering with charities to reduce health inequality. We have a commitment to donate part of our pre-tax profits to charities or community projects each year and spread our donations across a wide range of healthcare-related charities.
In 2019 we became Official Healthcare Partner of England Rugby, a partnership that will help us deliver on our purpose and improve access to healthcare for the rugby community.
