First Actuarial adds healthcare to its employee benefit services for employers
6 August 2025
First Actuarial has launched a healthcare benefit service, to help employers meet workforce expectations for private medical cover. The firm’s employee benefit specialists now help employers select and manage private medical health insurance, health cash plans and dental insurance. The launch is the latest move by First Actuarial to meet client demand for a one-stop shop for employee benefits.
Lee French, Head of Employee Benefits, says: “With our healthcare services, our employee benefit specialists can now help clients with the full range of employee benefits – pensions, group protection services such as life assurance, and healthcare. Organisations increasingly want a small number of trusted providers with streamlined service delivery, and that’s what we’re providing.”
Private healthcare has become a higher priority in recent years. With employees struggling to access NHS services, more and more employers are turning to health and protection benefits, as the Reward & Employee Benefits Association (REBA) recently reported. Employers avoid the disruption that healthcare delays can cause, and they can also get people back to work quickly with speedier rehabilitation.
Lee concludes: “Employers tell us that their people expect wellbeing services, and healthcare is an important part of that. It’s all part of the efforts employers are making to reward and retain their valued people.”
First Actuarial is not authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 but we are able in certain circumstances to offer a limited range of investment services to clients because we are licensed by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. We can provide these investment services if they are an incidental part of the professional services we have been engaged to provide.
