A choice of three plans

With the Benenden Health Cash Plan there are three plans to choose from

  1.  Value plan - £1.95 per week

  2. Classic plan - £3.90 per week

  3. Advantage plan - £7.20 per week

An increase in your contribution will bring you more benefits, so you need to think carefully about your circumstances to decide which level is right for you. The benefits calculator can help you calculate which range of cover is appropriate for your needs.

Value plan

£1.95 a week - £8.45 a month

The Value Plan is our most affordable benefit level and it may be right for you if you expect your health costs to be quite low over the next 12 months, or if you don't have a family.

Your weekly contribution covers you, your spouse or partner and any dependent children up to the age of 18.

If your circumstances change, or you feel your health needs may increase, you can upgrade to another level at any time before the age of 70. Please be aware that existing medical conditions will not be covered when you upgrade.
