Two reasons finance directors say yes

Tax-deductible for everyone

Private health insurance is tax-deductible. You can offset the first €500 for each person on the policy - including spouses and children - and those payments are exempt from income tax, putting money back in your people's pockets.

No waiting periods as your team grows

When your company is the policyholder and payer and insures 51 or more people, employees join with no waiting periods and no pre-existing conditions excluded - cover that works from day one. From 21 to 50 insured, only childbirth keeps a waiting period and only serious pre-existing conditions are excluded.
