About Benenden Health
Perkwise Insight
Benenden Health is a not-for-profit healthcare provider offering an affordable alternative to traditional private medical insurance. It provides members with access to medical services, diagnostics, treatments, and wellbeing support through a membership model rather than an insurance policy.
