Benenden Healthcare

For just 150 pennies a week, we help take care of your health.

We don’t work for profit. We work to give our members excellent healthcare, when they need it most. For our members, sound advice, prompt treatment times and access to first class medical facilities are just a phone call away. What’s more, as a mutual organisation every penny we receive is used for the benefit of you and all our members. Our mutual status is why we can provide employees of the public sector with a wide range of discretionary healthcare services, for just £1.50 per person per week.

As a not-for-profit mutual society, Benenden Healthcare complements the services provided by the NHS by providing discretionary healthcare services when members are experiencing difficulty in solving their health problems.
