General Insurance Article - Employers urged to use Group Risk as cancer stats released

  In 2016 the industry paid out benefits for more than 6,000 cancer sufferers – either to those newly diagnosed with cancer or to the families of those not fortunate enough to survive this dreadful disease. Just as importantly, Group Risk providers give a lot of additional support, including fast-track access to counselling and second medical opinion services that can be a great help to cancer sufferers and their families.

 “When you hear first-hand from those that benefit from their group risk insurance, both financially and emotionally, it really brings the products to life. Offering them within employee benefit packages isn’t just a tick-box exercise, it can mean the difference between someone being financially and emotionally supported or not.

 “Employers that get the best appreciation and take-up of their group risk benefits are those that explain the support that’s available within the products.”
