Health insurance provider Equipsme has joined the Association of Medical Insurers and Intermediaries (amii) as a corporate member.
Equipsme was launched five years ago with the aim of democratising health insurance.
It was founded to offer a middle ground between affordable cash plans for the masses and traditional private medical insurance for top managers.
Matthew Reed (pictured), managing director and co-founder of Equipsme, said: “As we’ve continued to grow and bring on more and larger businesses, intermediaries have been essential.
“amii impressed us with its work to connect people, highlight best practices and effectively advocate on behalf of members to remove the red tape surrounding a highly valued employee benefit.
“We believe that our approach supports businesses in making more extensive investments in health and wellbeing, ultimately alleviating some of the burden on the NHS.
“I am particularly excited about attending the amii conference this year as an exhibitor and to have the ability to meet with more intermediaries to showcase our products.”
David Middleton, executive chairman at amii, said: “With Equipsme on board, we become more confident that we can provide businesses with a modern alternative in health insurance and contribute to the improvement of health and wellbeing.
“We look forward to working closely with Equipsme and leveraging their expertise to bring about positive change in the industry.”
