OneBefore Working With Sante Group and Pulse Insurance

This three way partnership aims to offer healthcare cover for SMEs; 

OneBefore, the Mission-backed MGA specialising in accident, absence, health, and travel insurance, has partnered with Santé Group and Pulse Insurance to launch Santé Care, an innovative and affordable group healthcare product designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses.

Santé Care provides employees with a concierge-style service, making it quicker and easier to navigate and access healthcare when it’s needed most.

The product has been developed in partnership with Patient Advocate, using its specialist nurse-led triage model. Patient Advocate supports employees by connecting them to the full breadth of NHS services available – regardless of their location – ensuring they are directed to the most appropriate and fastest route to care.

The product will be distributed via the Santé Group network.

“Demand on the NHS remains high, with long waiting times for consultations, diagnostic testing and procedures causing stress to both employees and their employers,” said Peter Norman, Head of Partnerships at OneBefore. “Patient Advocate connects the dots between patients needing care and the hospital or NHS service that can deliver the appropriate care in the quickest possible time”.

He added: “Santé Care is attractive to employees and gives business owners confidence that their staff will receive the care they need when they need it.  It helps maintain a healthy workforce by giving employees access to the healthcare they need when they need it, and it supports a timely rehabilitation back into work.”

Ben Broom at Pulse Insurance, said “Our brokers have been asking for credible, low-cost healthcare solutions that genuinely improve access to care. Santé Care delivers exactly that. It is simple to understand and adds meaningful value for clients looking to support their teams without the high costs associated with traditional PMI.”
