Perkwise Insight
Equipsme is shaking up the UK business health insurance market by occupying the middle ground between basic health cash plans and expensive private medical insurance (PMI). Rather than health insurance being a perk reserved for senior executives, Equipsme makes it possible for businesses to offer meaningful health benefits to their entire workforce – from two employees upwards. Their plans give employees access to 24/7 GP services, physiotherapy, health checks, and depending on the tier, private diagnosis and treatment through AXA Health's network of hospitals.
