Flexibility to tailor your employee benefits

Healthcare trusts can offer larger organisations a creative and flexible way to meet their employee health and wellbeing needs.

We’ll help you to design a trust with benefits that are right for your organisation and ensure a smooth and hassle-free set up or transfer. Then, once everything is up and running, we’ll ensure that you, your managers and your employees get the health and wellbeing service your organisation deserves.

The benefits for you from a Healthcare Trust

  • Take full control over the employee benefits you choose to provide
  • Choose an option that gives the certainty of setting your maximum financial liability
  • Leave claims and service to our employee health experts

AXA Health is one of the UK’s largest Healthcare Trust providers, offering flexibility through either a Health Trust or our Health Master Trust.

How it works

Pound icon
Establishing a trust fund

The employer sets up a trust and establishes a trust fund to be used to pay for the medical treatment costs of its beneficiaries.

Engagement icon
Appointing trustees

The employer appoints trustees to run the trust according to the trust rules. Unlike some other trusts, the trustees are not directly involved in day-to-day decisions, such as working out how much an individual member is entitled to claim for.

Legal icon
Establishing trust rules

The trust rules are set out in a membership handbook and trust deed. These set out what treatment will be paid for and who the beneficiaries are.

Planning icon
Appointing an administrator

The trustees appoint an administrator. An administration agreement sets out how the administrator will handle all the day-to-day healthcare expenditure, administration and claims. Treatment costs are paid out of the trust fund.

Benefits available through a healthcare trust

Easy access to mental health support

If your employees need support with their mental health, we’re on hand to intervene early. Helping them feel better and get back to work quickly, and perhaps not take time off at all.

Speedy access to diagnosis for aches and pains

Problems with muscles, joints and bones are among the most common reasons for needing time off work. Your employees can speak to a musculoskeletal expert as soon as pain strikes – without needing a GP referral first.

Talking healthy habits

Encouraging people to live healthy lives can be hard. The Proactive Health Gateway – which you can offer with your healthcare benefits – actively learns about your employees and supports them with tips and tools tailored to their goals. So, whether they’re aiming to boost fitness levels or better manage stress, they’ll be motivated to make changes they’re more likely to stick to.
