How Group Health Insurance Works

Group health insurance provides comprehensive cover for members of an organisation under a single policy. Cover includes day-to-day care (such as consultations, basic dentistry, scripts) and hospitalisation protection for major incidents. Depending on group size and benefit selection, policy rates remain affordable for employers and staff alike. Plans are available for groups of working-age adults; family members may also be included depending on the organisation’s policy structure.
