A group cash plan is the employer-funded variant of a healthcare cash plan, provided as an employee benefit. The policyholder is the employer; the insured persons are the employees; and the cover provides reimbursement up to defined annual limits for routine healthcare expenses. The product is identical to an individual healthcare cash plan but offered to all employees at a discounted multi-life rate.

The group cash plan typically offers a flat benefit per employee (e.g. £150 of dental, £100 of optical, £300 of physio per year), with optional buy-up for partners and children at the employee’s expense.
See healthcare cash plan. FCA regulated under ICOBS; tax treatment under ITEPA 2003; IPT applies.
See healthcare cash plan. Typical limits at the lower price points are modest but cover frequent everyday expenses.
An employer adds a £130 per employee group cash plan to its benefit package. Take-up is 100% (because the employer pays); cash plan provider data shows average annual claims of £95 per insured life, generating an experience-rated renewal.
