Provide Absence Insurance for your clients
Our Absence Insurance can be tailored in many different ways dependent on your clients’ needs:
- Locum insurance – this is for people such as GPs, dentists etc who would need to pay a suitably qualified locum to look after their patients if they couldn’t work.
- Absence insurance – for this for locum GPs, hospital doctors (not employed by the NHS), private doctors and dental associates whose income would suffer if they couldn’t work. These clients could also consider ‘income protection’ insurance (which we don’t offer). The benefit of Absence insurance is that (depending on your client’s age) it can be cheaper and quicker to put the policy in place. The policy would pay a maximum of 75% of your client’s earnings if he or she couldn’t work – but of course, it is limited to a Benefit Period of 52 weeks.
- Overheads insurance – this is for people such as dentists, vets, opticians and people who run a practice with staff, premises etc the costs for which would continue if they couldn’t work. A typical overheads insurance policy requires the client to prove his overheads amount at the ‘claim’ stage whereas our policy simply pays the sum the client elected when he or she took out the policy.
Whether you’re advising GPs, dentists, vets, opticians or allied health professionals, your focus may well be on pensions or investment planning. However, when you are discussing financial protection with either GPs or fee-earning business owners, you’ll want to include recommendations for absence insurance: a key part of their contingency planning.
